Abstract
The interconversion of cortisol and cortisone during steady-state conditions is shifted toward cortisol in men as compared with women. This suggests a higher overall oxoreductase activity of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 in men than in women. This sex-specific difference is maintained in obesity.
