Trying to revamp the article into less of a list of facts put superficially into prose form, and more of an essay with main ideas. Those main ideas: (1) hormones are some of the most powerful of biological agents (molecules) (2) Discuss the role of hormones in homeostasis and feedback regulation of growth, sexual development, metabolism. The discussion will be structured along Animals - Vertebrate (human) Invertebrate, and plants. Nancy Sculerati MD 13:13, 16 January 2007 (CST)

I just saw this ambitous project and will try and contribute some plant stuff. I am really busy right now. One comment you have four indent after human. Does this imply you have other sub headings to add? If not, we should probably collapse that hierarchy. Chris Day (Talk) 14:33, 16 January 2007 (CST)
