摘要
Following extensive suprasellar operations for excision of hypothalamic tumors, some patients develop morbid obesity despite receiving replacement doses of glucocorticoids. Urine analysis of cortisol and cortisone metabolites show that 11-OH/11-oxo ratios are significantly higher in patients with hypothalamic obesity, indicating enhanced 11 beta-HSD1 activity. This correlates with the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio. The consequence of increased 11beta-HSD1 activity and a shift of the steroid inter-conversion towards cortisol may contribute to the effects of the latter in adipose tissue. The message from the hypothalamus to adipocyte 11beta-HSD-1 involves hormones, the sympathetic nervous system and cytokines. CRH and ACTH downregulate 11beta-HSD-1 activity and induce lipolysis. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-1beta upregulate 11beta-HSD-1 expression and activity, while enhancing lipolysis. The sympathetic nervous system exerts its effects through beta-adrenergic upregulation and alpha-adrenergic downregulation of 11beta-HSD-1 activity. Inhibition of 11beta-HSD-1 suppresses preadipocyte differentiation into mature adipocytes, and may provide a therapeutic tool.
