What does CORTIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalmedical
An early name for a hormonal extract of the adrenal cortex, used before individual adrenal hormones such as cortisone were isolated.
Cortin was the term physiologists used in the early twentieth century for the crude mixture drawn from the outer layer of the adrenal gland, before chemists separated it into distinct compounds. Doctors gave cortin to patients with adrenal failure, since the whole extract restored some balance even though its exact active ingredients were still unknown at the time. Once individual adrenal hormones could be isolated and produced synthetically, the word cortin fell out of active medical use.
