Abstract
IN view of the dramatic success of the application of certain hormones of the adrenal cortex (for example, Compound E) to the treatment of arthritis, methods for the estimation of these hormones and their metabolites have become of increasing importance. In this Laboratory we have been interested in the appraisal of adrenal cortical function in various other clinical conditions and have evolved an improved method for the chemical assay of urinary ‘cortin’.
