The presence of 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11 beta-HSD) activity in the kidney has been suggested to be important in the regulation of glucocorticoid-induced disorders of electrolyte balance and the control of blood pressure. To assess the possible effect of 11 beta-HSD isoforms in diabetes-related hypertension, we measured the mean systolic blood pressure and the 11 beta-HSD activity and mRNA levels for both 11 beta-HSD1 and 11 beta-HSD2 in the kidney of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic female rats. Three weeks after injection of STZ (65 mg/kg), the mean systolic blood pressure of diabetic rats was elevated 13.6% above that of normal rats (P
