|---|---|---|---|
| 1865 | " French physiologist Claude Bernard (1813-1878). In 1865 Bernard published his landmark treatise “An Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine” in which he introduced the concept of “milieu interieur” (internal milieu) and the importance of endocrine systems in keeping this constant."[1] | ||
| 1914 | "biochemist Edward C. Kendall isolated thyroxine in crystalline form on Christmas Day, 1914."[1] | ||
| 1916 | Organization | Endocrine Society. | |
| 1917 | Literature (journal) | "The first issue of the journal Endocrinology was published in 1917."[1] | |
| 1923 | "In 1923, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded jointly to Frederick Grant Banting and John James Rickard Macleod "for the discovery of insulin""[1] | ||
| 1923 | Organization | American Thyroid Association | United States |
| 1925 | "James B. Collip (Society President, 1925-1926) isolated parathyroid hormone and with Leitch used in the treatment of tetany. Collip JB 1925 The extraction of a parathyroid hormone which will prevent or control parathyroid tetany and which regulates the level of blood calcium. Journal of Biological Chemistry 63 395–438."[1] | ||
| 1926 | British chemist Charles Harington successfully synthesizes thyroxine.[1] | United Kingdom | |
| 1929 | "Walter B. Cannon (Society President, 1921-1922) coins the term "homeostasis" for "same" and "steady". This important concept highlighted the critical role of negative feedback in governing endocrine physiology. "[1] | ||
| 1929 | "C.F. and G.T. Cori proposed the theory of the Cori Cycle. The Cori Cycle refers to the phases in the metabolism of carbohydrates in which muscles convert glycogen to lactic acid, which is carried by the blood to the liver where it is converted to glycogen then broken down to glucose that, in turn, is carried by the blood to muscles, where it is converted to glycogen and used as an energy source for muscular activity."[1] | ||
| 1929 | "In 1929, Edward A. Doisy isolated estrone in pure, crystalline form at almost the same time as Adolf Butenandt at the University of Göttingen. Doisy published his findings in the Journal of Biological Chemistry."[1] | ||
| 1933 | "Dr. Oscar Riddle (Society President, 1928-1929) and colleagues identified and assayed prolactin."[1] | ||
| 1935 | "In 1935, Ernst Laqueur and his colleagues in Amsterdam, isolated a crystalline hormone from the testicle and named it testosterone."[1] | ||
| 1950 | " In 1950, Kendall was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine along with Mayo Clinic physician Philip S. Hench, and Swiss chemist Tadeus Reichstein, for their work with the hormones of the adrenal gland."[1] | ||
| 1965 | Organization | The European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) is founded in Copenhagen.[2] | Denmark |
| 1980 | Organization | "BIRDEM, the Bangladesh Institute of Research and Rehabilitation for Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders" | Bangladesh |
