1928F. A. Hartman et al. in Amer. Jrnl. Physiol. LXXXVI. 359 The hormone of the adrenal cortex has been salted out with NaCl. Cortin is proposed as the name for this substance. 1943Thorpe's Dict. Appl. Chem. VI. 277/1 Corticosterone possesses a high degree of cortin activity. 1948R. D. H. Heard in Pincus & Thimann Hormones I. xiii. 550 The term ‘cortin’ is used today in several senses, to denote (a) the active substances contained in whole adrenal extract, (b) any life maintenance factor of unestablished chemical nature (as in the amorphous factor), and (c) substances, again of unrecognized constitution, which possess any kind of cortical activity. 1949S. & L. M. Miall New Dict. Chem. (ed. 2) 152/2 Cortin, the hormone secreted by the suprarenal cortex... Several crystalline substances have been isolated from this extract, one of which, corticosterone, is believed to be the true hormone, which is still generally spoken of as cortin. 1961Brit. Med.
