of overall eflFects. The next approach is, perhaps, a study of the 

 mechanisms underlying this regulatory function. The mechanism of 

 action of a number of hormones is still obscure; all that can be said 

 at present is that they are part of the regulatory mechanism of the 

 cell rather than essential constituents of enzyme systems.
