Comparison between placental gene expression of 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases and infantile growth at 10 months of age

The local expression of two isoenzymes of 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, type 1 (11βHSD‐1) and type 2 (11βHSD‐2), regulates the access of glucocorticoid hormones to their target cells. Reports on the association between the placental expression of 11βHSD and infantile growth are limited. The aim of the present study was to investigate if the placental gene expression of 11βHSD affects infantile growth at 10 months of age.
