  • [ 22 , 23 ] In obesity, postulated mechanisms of hyperactivation of HPA axis include hyper-responsiveness to different neuropeptides, stress events, dietary factors, as well as a stimulation caused by augmented peripheral metabolism and clearance of cortisol by reduced conversion of cortisone to cortisol by 11β-HSD1 and increased conversion of cortisol to 5α-reduced derivatives.

  • This could be explained by a reduction in cortisol clearance rate: urinary free cortisol/cortisone ratios were not different but A-ring-reduced metabolites of cortisol were higher in winter, suggesting that conversion of cortisone to cortisol by hepatic 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 is enhanced. (nih.gov)
  • MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We measured urinary steroid metabolites including glucocorticoids and androgens and the ratios reflecting enzymatic activities involved in peripheral cortisol and androgen metabolism, 5 alpha-reductase, and 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase types 1 and 2. (ox.ac.uk)
  • In peripheral tissues, corticosteroid hormone action is determined, in part, through the activity of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (11beta-HSD), two isozymes of which interconvert hormonally active cortisol (F) and inactive cortisone (E). 11beta-HSD type 2 (11beta-HSD2) inactivates F to E in the kidney, whilst 11beta-HSD type 1 (11beta-HSD1) principally performs the reverse reaction activating F from E in the liver and adipose tissue. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Alteration in expression of these 11beta-HSD isozymes in peripheral tissues modifies corticosteroid action: loss of 11beta-HSD2 activity in the kidney results in cortisol-induced mineralocorticoid excess, and loss of hepatic 11beta-HSD1 activity improves insulin sensitivity through a reduction in cortisol-induced gluconeogenesis and hepatic glucose output. (ox.ac.uk)
