Q

Endocrine postulates (5)

A

Gland must produce internal secretion
Methods of detecting internal secretion must be available
Extracts must be produced from which a purified hormone can be obtained
The pure hormone must be isolated, its structure determined and its synthesis achieved
Hormone acts on specific target cells such that excess or deficiency results in a specific phenotype
