Mixup[edit]

It seems that there is some confusion and mixup between the articles Pancreatic polypeptide and Pancreatic hormone. It needs to be looked into. DiptanshuTalk 15:26, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Another problem is that there are various pancreatic hormones, not just one. Insulin and glucagon are both peptide hormones that are produced by the pancreas, and there are others. I'm not even sure what this article thinks it's about in its current form. It starts off in the plural, "Pancreatic hormones are peptides synthesized in pancreatic islets of Langerhans [...]", then veers into the singular, apparently trying to talk about a particular molecule, but not even knowing what it is or isn't called, and whether it is or isn't different from pancreatic polypeptide, despite a hatnote claiming that it is not to be confused with the latter. The article title says "Pancreatic hormone", but the box titrle says "Pancreatic hormone peptide", while the box caption says "[...] pancreatic polypeptide". This thing is so confused that I think I will go clear away all the contradictions and leave a slate that is closer to blank. If anyone doesn't like the edit and knows how to write a better article, then they are free to step up and do it. Quercus solaris (talk) 23:05, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
