Extract

The adrenal cortex is the pivot of the body's reaction to stress. To this gland converge most of the varied effects of shock and stress, and from this gland diverge the steroids which, in ways but partly known, enable the body to withstand the stress. No apology is therefore needed for a study which contributes to an elucidation of the actions of these steroids.
