Glucocorticoids are potent anti-inflammatory agents. Endogenous glucocorticoid action is modulated by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) which interconverts active (cortisol, corticosterone) and intrinsically inert glucocorticoids (cortisone, 11-dehydrocorticosterone). 11β-HSD type 1 regenerates active glucocorticoids. 11β-HSD 1 highly expressed in the lung but its role is little explored.Immunohistochemical staining of mouse ...
