Regulation of 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 activity in ovine placenta by fetal cortisol

The effect of fetal cortisol on the activity of the type 2 isoform of the enzyme, 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11 beta-HSD2), was examined in ovine placenta and fetal kidney by measuring tissue 11 beta-HSD2 activity during late gestation when endogenous fetal cortisol levels rise and after...
