Abstract
Blum distinguishes in opposition to hormones, which are in the body excitatory effective substances (Treibstoffe), catechins-Bremsstoffe-or "inhibitory substances" (from the Greek word-contain in known limits), whose role is to prevent the increased activity (Ueberwirkung) of hormones, or to soften and modify their action.
