11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase

Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate (Glycyrrhizin) , an extensively used anti-inflammatory agent, is isolated from the licorice root. It is metabolized to glycyrrhetinic acid, which inhibits 11-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and other enzymes involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids. Therefore, glycyrrhizic acid, the main and sweet component of licorice, has been studied for its ability to cause hypermineralocorticoidism with potassium loss and sodium retention, edema, increased blood pressure, as well as inhibited the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Adrenosterone (11-ketoandrostenedione) is a steroid hormone isolated from the adrenal cortex.

11-Beta-hydroxyandrostenedione (NSC-17102) is a steroid mainly found in the adrenal origin (11β-hydroxylase is present in adrenal tissue, but absent in ovarian tissue), which is a 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isozymes inhibitor. Measuring plasma 11-Beta-hydroxyandrostenedione can distinguish the adrenal or ovarian origin of hyperandrogenism with 4-androstenedione increases.

11-Beta-hydroxyandrostenedione (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving 11-Beta-hydroxyandrostenedione. 11-Beta-hydroxyandrostenedione (NSC-17102) is a steroid mainly found in the adrenal origin (11β-hydroxylase is present in adrenal tissue, but absent in ovarian tissue), which is a 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isozymes inhibitor. Measuring plasma 11-Beta-hydroxyandrostenedione can distinguish the adrenal or ovarian origin of hyperandrogenism with 4-androstenedione increases.
