While trying not to be deliberately picky...but isn't Cushing's Disease the pituitary form while Cushing's Syndrome covers the adrenal and ectopic forms of the disease? Ianmc 22:23, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: "Bayliss and Starling (1902) first conclusively demonstrated the existence of hormones by observing that that acid instilled into the duodenum stimulated secretion by the pancreas, despite the fact that both organs were denervated and, further to this, that the action could be replicated by the intravenous injection of an extract of jejunal mucosa."
The forgoing sentence, like many that follow it, can present a substantial challenge for the lay reader.  Consider the following suggestions to make it more readable.  
Add first names to Bayliss and Starling.  Where were they working?  Had the existence of hormones been theorized before?  If so, the paragraph could start something like, "Though scientist had theorized the existence of hormones for years, it was not until [year] that their existence was conclusively demonstrated by [Name] Bayliss and [Name] Starling.  Working at [institution where they worked], they observed..."  It would also help to explain the significance of the organs being denervated.  It might be obvious to someone familiar with the field, but is anything but for those outside medicine.  Just some idea.  Martschink
I agree. Please do. And welcome. alteripse 01:11, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

message: "Endocrinologists treat disorders of the pituitary, ...and diabetes (although more commonly it is a diabetologist),"
I have been a type 1 diabetic for ten years and have never heard of a diabetologist. So while it is obviously true that diabetologists are specialists on diabetes, they do not treat diabetes more commonly than endocrinologists do. ErinOConnor 2 February 2005
:You are correct, in many parts of the world, including North America, far more diabetes specialists are formally endocrinologists than diabetologists. alteripse 01:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I think it makes sense to split-out the diseases section into a separate article called endocrine disorders or endocrine disorder or endocrine disease or endocrine diseases.  Any thoughts?

thread_title:  Splitting-out the "diseases" section of the article 

message: I think a section in the work section describing what kind of research endocrinologists do would be a great addition.  I'm sure I could include diabetes research, cancer research, maybe even some of the stress axis work, but I wouldn't really know what I'm talking about.  Rhetth 23:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Could use a research section in the work section. 

message: Roughly 7,000 to 80,000 endocrinologists in the USA? That's a big range... guessing it is either 7,000 to 8,000, or 70,000 to 80,000. Anyone know which is right? 59.167.149.146 (talk) 02:55, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Could use some proof reading 

message: Hello all... 
An image used in the article, specifically :Image:Amine hormones, norepinephrine and triiodothryonine.jpg, has a little bit of a licensing issue.  The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive.  It is presumed that the uploader was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard.  As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article.  If anyone has an image that can replace this, or can go take one and upload it, it would be best.

message: http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/94/6/1853 is a review of endocrine disease in the USA, at least the 54 ones with public health significance. Can I think of 54 endocrine diseases of public health significance? Let's see.... JFW | T@lk 10:13, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
