11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 expression in the rodent brain : implications for corticosteroid hormone action

This thesis describes the partial cloning of a mouse 11β-HSD2 cDNA which was used to generate riboprobes for determining 11β-HSD2 mRNA expression in the adult mouse brain by in situ hybridisation. Comparison with 11β-HSD2 distribution in the adult rat brain revealed distinct species differences; in...
