Descripción: Replacement therapy provided the first element of knowledge of the nature of adrenocortical secretion. The earliest view on this secretion assumed the existence of a single adrenocortical hormone, called "cortin" (5}. Attempts were made to extract, isolate and characterize this principle from the adrenals. ROGOFF et al. round that aqueous extracts of adrenal tissue have the property of maintaining life in adrenaleotomized animals. ( 6) SWINGLE et al. in 1931 (7) demonstrated unequivocally that the fraction soluble in usual lipid solvents possesses a far greater potency.
