Practically Applicable Results of Twenty Years of Research in Endocrinology

  • Chapter
Progress in Drug Research / Fortschritte der Arzneimittelforschung / Progrès des recherches pharmaceutiques

Abstract

The boundaries of endocrinology — like those of many disciplines — are fading. Most of the now known hormones were discovered in the course of this century, and they became the rewarding objects of investigations for those scientists who wanted to know what regulates their secretion, how they are transported, and by what mechanisms they act and are inactivated. But hormones also became drugs and thus were subjected to the rules of operation of the pharmaceutical industry and of those who study the effects and uses of drugs irrespective of their endocrine ancestry. One can deal with a synthetic steroid as one would with an alkaloid and one can modify its structure and build derivatives having more desirable combinations of activities than the natural parent substance — at least for the specific applications envisaged. But knowledge of the endocrine heritage helps.
