87 results about "11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1" patented technology

11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, or 'cortisone reductase' is an NADPH-dependent enzyme highly expressed in key metabolic tissues including liver, adipose tissue, and the central nervous system. In these tissues, HSD11B1 reduces cortisone to the active hormone cortisol that activates glucocorticoid receptors. It is inhibited by carbenoxolone, a drug typically used in the treatment of peptic ulcers. Moreover, 18alpha-glycyrrhizic acid from the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra was discovered as an inhibitor A study from 2014 found that Epigallocatechin gallate from Green tea can also potently inhibit this reaction, which might partly explain the anti-stress properties of Green tea consumption. The protein encoded by this gene is a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of the stress hormone cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone. In addition, the encoded protein can catalyze the reverse reaction, the conversion of cortisone to cortisol. Too much cortisol can lead to central obesity, and a particular variation in this gene has been associated with obesity and insulin resistance in children.
