...years. Biochemist Choh Hao Li has devoted himself to discovering the functions of a small part of a small, lima-bean-sized gland that is lodged at the base of the human brain. With each experiment the Canton-born professor of biochemistry and endocrinology has come closer than any man before him to explaining how the front half of the human pituitary, the body's master gland, controls so many functions through the hormones it manufactures. Because his success represents a singular medical triumph, Dr. Li last week was awarded the $10,000 Albert Lasker Basic Research Award...
Another First. Dr. Choh Hao Li, 36-year-old Chinese-born University of California biochemist, reported success in isolating for the first time the sex hormone FSH (for follicle-stimulating hormone). In the female, FSH stimulates the growth of follicles in the ovary and makes ovulation possible; in the male, it stimulates tubules in the testes that produce sperm. Dr. Li isolated it from the pituitary glands of freshly killed sheep. Since other researchers were looking for it, too, Dr. Li says: "I was damn lucky. I hit on the right method." With the same sort of "luck...

Herbert McLean Evans and Choh Hao Li of the University of California announced in last week's Science that they have isolated a few milligrams of it in pure form-not enough to practice on little girls with, but enough to practice on rats...
