1936 L. R. Dragstedt et al. in Amer. Jrnl. Physiol. CXVII. 180 We have chosen the name ‘lipocaic’ for this substance. It is derived from the Greek words ‘λιπος’, ‘fat’ and ‘καιω’, ‘I burn’. A more general term suggesting that the hormone plays a rôle in the utilization of fat was sought but without success.
1955 H. J. Deuel Lipids II. vi. 672 A number of facts lead one to question whether or not lipocaic can be classified as a hormone in the usual sense of the word.
