Syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess. A defect in the cortisol-cortisone shuttle. - 0 views

  • These results suggest that cortisol acts as a potent mineralocorticoid in 11 beta-OHSD deficiency
  • major site for the oxidation of cortisol to cortisone is the kidney
  • congenital deficiency of 11 beta-OHSD results in high intrarenal cortisol levels which then act on renal type I mineralocorticoid receptors
