	Edward Calvin Kendall Summary
		Edward Calvin Kendall was born on March 8, 1886, in South Norwalk, Connecticut, the youngest of three children.
		Kendall worked for several years with a substance obtained from cattle bile and was finally successful in producing a small amount of the compound late in 1946.
		Edward Calvin Kendall (March 8, 1886 – May 4, 1972) was an American chemist who, together with Philip S. Hench and Tadeus Reichstein, won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1950 for research on the structure and biological effects of adrenal cortex hormones.

	Edward Calvin Kendall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In 1914 he was appointed Head of the Biochemistry Section in the Graduate School of the Mayo Foundation, Rochester which is part of the University of Minnesota, and in 1915 he was appointed Director of the Division of Biochemistry there and subsequently Professor of Physiological Chemistry.
		On April 1, 1951, Kendall reached the age of retirement from the Mayo Foundation and he accepted the position of Visiting Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at Princeton University, a position, which at the time of writing, he still holds.
		Kendall's name will always be associated with his isolation of thyroxine, the active principle of the thyroid gland, but he is also known for his crystallization of glutathione, the chemical nature of which he established, and also for his work on the oxidation systems in animals.

	Cortisone
		Kendall first began work on adrenal cortex hormones because an extract had been used successfully against Addison's disease, which is caused by adrenal gland problems.
		Kendall isolated a series of adrenal substances and converted one he called "compound E" into an active substance that he believed to be a steroid.
		Hench and Kendall studied compound E, thinking it may be useful in treating arthritis because of its anti-inflammatory effect (the ability to prevent or suppress the heat, redness, swelling, and tenderness of inflammation).

		George Oliver and Edward Albert Sharpey-Schäfer (Schaefer) first demonstrated the action of a specific hormone: the effect of an extract of the adrenal gland on blood vessels and muscle contraction.Upon injection into normal animals it produced a striking elevation in blood pressure.
		Edward Albert Sharpey-Schäfer (Schaefer) coined the term "insuline" for the active principle of the pancreas.
		Edward Calvin Kendall completed the final isolation of crystalline thyroxine, the active substance produced by the thyroid gland.

		He shared with Philip S. Hench and Tadeus Reichstein the 1950 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on the hormones of the adrenal gland cortex.
		Kendall isolated and identified a series of compounds from the adrenal gland cortex, prepared cortisone by partial synthesis (with Merck and Co., Inc.), and with P. Hench, H. Polley, and C. Slocumb, investigated the effects of cortisone and of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) on rheumatoid arthritis.
		Other contributions include the isolation of thyroxine (1914) and the crystallization of glutathione and establishment of its chemical structure.

		Thus, in 1936, two biochemists, Edward Kendall of Rochester, Minn, and Polish-born Tadeus Reichstein of Basel, Switzerland, independently reported that among the secretions of the adrenal glands they had found a complex hormone.
		At last Kendall and others succeeded, and late in 1948, a colleague at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Philip Hench, directed the first injections of cortisone to human victims of rheumatoid arthritis.
		Edward Calvin Kendall, Philip Showalter Hench and Tadeus Reichstein were awarded the 1950 Nobel Prize for medicine.

	Cortisone Summary
		Knowledge of cortisone is due primarily to three scientists, the Swiss chemist Tadeus Reichstein and the Americans Edward Kendall, a biochemist, and Philip Showalter Hench, a medical researcher.
		Kendall first began work on adrenal cortex hormones because an extract had been used successfully against Addison's disease, which is caused by adrenal gland dysfunction.
		Kendall isolated a series of adrenal substances and converted the one he called Compound E into an active substance.

	TIME.com: What the Doctor Ordered -- Aug. 18, 1952 -- Page 5
		In 1935, a biochemist at the Mayo Clinic, Edward Calvin Kendall, had isolated a hormone similar to those produced by the adrenal glands.
		But its extraction was painfully complicated; in seven years Kendall could produce only 40 or 50 grams from 120 tons of adrenal glands of cattle.
		Kendall and Hench shared a Nobel Prize for their part in the work: for the first time in his long rheumatic history, man could practically eliminate the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

	Philip Showalter Hench
		With Kendall and Tadeus Reichstein of Switzerland, Hench received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1950 for discoveries concerning hormones of the adrenal cortex, their structure and biological effects.
		With Edward Calvin Kendall (1886-1972), Hench in 1948 successfully applied an adrenal hormone (later known as cortisone) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
		With Edwin Calvin Kendall and Tadeus Reichstein (born in Poland), Hench received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1950 ”for their discoveries relating to the hormones of the adrenal cortex, their structure and biological effects.”

		Around this same time, Edward Calvin Kendall (who had debuted on the hormone scene with his discovery of the thyroxine hormone in 1914) was visited in his Mayo Laboratory by an intriguing Hungarian physiologist Albert Szent-Gyorgyi.
		Kendall agreed to provide the company, Parke-Davis, with large quantities of their patented Adrenalin in exchange for 500 pounds of fresh frozen adrenal glands per week.
		Once Kendall was partnered with the military, he recruited researchers from across the country to work on synthetically producing his compound E. It was a Merck pharmaceuticals researcher who finally achieved this goal, for in 1948, Lewis Sarett synthesized cortisone from ox bile using a 36-step process (costing $200/gram).

		Carolyn White has developed the theory that Meltire Kendall's first known wife was first married to Calvin Fielding.
		This theory would explain the Fielding children living in the Kendall household in 1850 and Sarah Ann Zachary in the household may be Judith's orphaned sister.
		She was injured in a house fire in Hartman and died in a Little Rock hospital.
