Description: (Physiologist)
Edward Albert Sharpey-Schafer, a British physiologist, made significant contributions to the field of endocrinology. He was instrumental in the co-discovery of adrenaline in 1894 and the introduction of the term "endocrine" for gland secretions. Schafer's legacy also includes the development of a technique for artificial respiration that now bears his name. Moreover, he proposed the concept of insulin in relation to diabetes mellitus, resulting in the popularization of the term "insulin." His work formed a solid groundwork for the advancement of endocrinology and respiratory physiology.
