Wilfrid Butt

 * ... that biochemist Wilfrid Butt was among the first to extract follicle-stimulating hormone from cadavers rather than from urine? Source: "While others were extracting, in particular, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from post-menopausal urine, Butt's laboratory pioneered the isolation from cadaveric pituitary glands of FSH, the gonadotrophins, luteinising hormone and prolactin."

 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on few but good sources, no copyvio obvious. I wonder if our average reader is prompted by the kind of hormone, or if something like "formidable force in the assays and treatment of reproduction" should appear, - at least "reproduction". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:08, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Personally I think a specific achievement is more interesting than a general quote. I don't see how adding the word "reproduction" to the hook would improve it. 97198 (talk) 12:33, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
