[[File:Arnold Adolph Berthold.gif|thumb|150px|[[Arnold Adolph Berthold|Arnold Berthold]] is known as a pioneer in endocrinology.]]<br />
The earliest study of endocrinology began in China. The Chinese were isolating sex and pituitary hormones from human [[urine]] and using them for medicinal purposes by 200 BC. They used many complex methods, such as sublimation of steroid hormones. Another method specified by Chinese texts—the earliest dating to 1110—specified the use of [[saponin]] (from the beans of ''[[Gleditsia sinensis]]'') to extract hormones, but [[gypsum]] (containing [[calcium sulfate]]) was also known to have been used.</div>FuzzyBot
