Abstract
⺠11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) is a critical target in obesity. ⺠The tissue-specific expression of 11β-HSD1 (HSD11B1) was obscure. ⺠This is the first report on the regulation of 11β-HSD1 expression by miRNAs. ⺠We could detect both miR-561 and -579 in human total liver RNA by RT-PCR. ⺠The two miRNAs may have a potential role in glucocorticoid associated diseases.
