Abstract
⺠The adrenal glands were first clearly described anatomically in 1563. ⺠In 1856, Brown-Sequard first showed that the adrenals were essential for life. ⺠Organic chemistry permitted the isolation, and synthesis of many steroids. ⺠Identifying all the steroidogenic enzymes required molecular genetic technologies. ⺠Despite these advances, the adrenal cortex remains a very active area of research.
