title: [The activity of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase of rat kidney and liver at inherited stress-induced arterial hypertension].
abstract: 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11beta-HSD) is the key enzyme of glucocorticoid metabolism, which catalyzes interconversion of corticosterone and 11-dehydrocorticosterone in rat. The activity of 11beta-HSD in kidneys of rats with inherited stress-induced arterial hypertension (ISIAH) was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that in WAG rats. The opposite was observed in the activity of liver 11beta-HSD. Under stress condition no changes in the kidney 11beta-HSD activity of both strains were observed, but the liver 11beta-HSD activity in ISIAH rats was significantly (p < 0.05) higher as compared to basal level and stressed WAG rats. It is possible that the features of the 11beta-HSD activity in ISIAH rats may reflect the hypertensive status of ISIAH rats.
