Abstract
THE researches of Prof. Kendall into the chemistry of the active principle of the thyroid gland are well known: this monograph, however, is much more than an account of his own work, since the study of thyroxine implies the study of the physiology of the thyroid gland. The viewpoint is that of the chemist who is concerned with the relationship of thyroxine to the processes of oxidation in the animal body.
Thyroxine.
