11β‐Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 mRNA is Increased in Both Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue of Obese Patients

11β‐Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 mRNA is Increased in Both Visceral and Subcutaneous... Objective: Data from rodents provide evidence for a causal role of 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β‐HSD‐1) in the development of obesity and its complications. In humans, 11β‐HSD‐1 is increased in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) of obese patients, and higher adipose 11β‐HSD‐1 was associated with features of the metabolic syndrome. To date, there is no evidence for an increased expression of 11β‐HSD‐1 in human visceral adipose tissue (VAT), although VAT is the major predictor for insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Obesity Wiley

Abstract

Objective: Data from rodents provide evidence for a causal role of 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β‐HSD‐1) in the development of obesity and its complications. In humans, 11β‐HSD‐1 is increased in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) of obese patients, and higher adipose 11β‐HSD‐1 was associated with features of the metabolic syndrome. To date, there is no evidence for an increased expression of 11β‐HSD‐1 in human visceral adipose tissue (VAT), although VAT is the major predictor for insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome.
