    11 beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 is Overexpressed in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue of Morbidly Obese Patients
    (SPRINGER, 2009) Munoz, Rodrigo; Carvajal, Cristian; Escalona, Alex; Boza, Camilo; Perez, Gustavo; Ibanez, Luis; Fardella, Carlos
    11 beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11 beta-HSD1) enzyme catalyzes interconversion of inactive cortisone to active cortisol. Its expression in adipose tissue has been associated with obesity and some of its metabolic disorders. Controversies regarding which fat depots [subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) or visceral adipose tissue (VAT)] have higher expression still remain. The aim of this work was to evaluate 11 beta-HSD1 expression in SAT and VAT of obese patients and evaluate its association to metabolic features of metabolic syndrome.

    Urinary free cortisol is not a biochemical marker of hypertension
    (OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2007) Krall, Paola; Carvajal, Cristian; Ortiz, Eugenia; Munoz, Carlos; Garrido, Lose Luis; Mosso, Lorena; Fardella, Carlos
    Background: Increasing evidence suggests that glucocorticoids might play a role in blood pressure (BP) control. These reports show that cortisol (F) can increase the BP acting on the mineralocorticoid receptor in kidney, brain, heart, and blood vessel. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of F in the renal salt and water reabsorption in essential hypertensive patients (EH).
