Schack August Steenberg KroghForMemRS[1] (15 November 1874 – 13 September 1949) was a Danish professor at the department of zoophysiology at the University of Copenhagen from 1916 to 1945.[2][3][4] He contributed a number of fundamental discoveries within several fields of physiology, and is famous for developing the Krogh Principle.[5][6][7]
In 1920 August Krogh was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of the mechanism of regulation of the capillaries in skeletal muscle.[8][9] Krogh was first to describe the adaptation of blood perfusion in muscle and other organs according to demands through opening and closing the arterioles and capillaries.[10]
Besides his contributions to medicine, Krogh was also one of the founders of what is today the Novo Nordisk company.[11]
