Editing Hormone (section)

===Oliver and Schäfer (1894)===
British physician [[George Oliver (physician)|George Oliver]] and physiologist [[Edward Albert Sharpey-Schafer|Edward Albert Schäfer]], professor at University College London, collaborated on the physiological effects of adrenal extracts. They first published their findings in two reports in 1894, a full publication followed in 1895.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors =  | title = Proceedings of the Physiological Society, March 10, 1894.
