Abstract

Isoenzymes of 11[beta]-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase affect the tissue-specific interconversion of cortisone and cortisol. In rodents, selective inhibitors of these enzymes improve insulin sensitivity, and we await clinical trials to test whether such drugs can be “magic bullets” to treat type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome.
