Abstract
The author reviews the effects of corticotropic and adrenocortical hormones upon connective tissue (mentioning especially wound and fracture healing, adhesions, tumors, infection, inflammation, and Cushing''s syndrome); also the effects upon connective tissue of thyrotropic and thyroid hormones, of growth, parathyroid, and sex hormones. He refers briefly to the changes in connective tissue caused by aging. He comments that his subject is largely descriptive, data on the chemical mediation of hormonal effects being still very meager.
