On the Mechanism of Biological Oxidation and the Function of the Suprarenal Gland

Abstract

There are 4 specific substances elaborated by the whole suprarenal gland. In the medulla are found epinephrine and a strongly reducing substance. In the cortex are found hexuronic acid and apparently another principle, the existence of which seems established by the recent work of Hartman and his collaborators, of Stewart and Rogoff and by the most recent investigation of Swingle.
