Abstract
Differences in corticosterone level associated with different activity of glucocorticoid-oxidizing enzymes in the liver were revealed in rats exposed to stress. Pro-inflammatory changes in the liver were associated with enhanced CYP3A-dependent monooxygenation.
Keywords:
11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-2, CYP3A; corticosterone; stress.
