Testosterone stimulates adipose tissue 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 expression in a depot-specific manner in children
Testosterone stimulates adipose tissue 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 expression in a depot-specific manner in children - PubMed
Testosterone and cortisol stimulated 11beta-HSD1 and H6PDH mRNA expression and 11beta-HSD1 activity in om but not in sc adipose tissue. This suggests that these hormones may contribute to fat distribution and accumulation during childhood.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this study show that testosterone is actually raising free cortisol. 11-beta-HSD-1 is the enzyme that converts the inactive hormone cortisone into the active hormone cortisol.
