Abstract
Summary
1. An equation, Response = 
, based on the concept of surface adsorption as set forth in the Langmuir adsorption isotherm has been derived as an aid in understanding biological response to steroids. 2. The equations provide a tool by which theoretical predictions can be correlated with experimental data. 3. The Langmuir concept is given added support since the equation is valid whether the steroid is applied topically as in the androgens or parenterally as in the estrogens.
