    enzyme converting inactive cortisone to active cortisol

    11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 (11β-HSD1) is an enzyme that converts inactive cortisone into active cortisol, a hormone involved in stress response, metabolism, and immune function. This enzyme is found in various tissues, including the liver and adipose tissue, and plays a role in conditions like obesity, diabetes, and potentially hair loss due to its influence on local cortisol levels.
