[edit] Reference to similarities with LSD and Psilocybin
I just read the article referenced (Sommer, R., and H. Osmond Am. Anthropologist 62:1051 (1960).). It has nothing to do with what it is citing; it is a three page synthesis of studies on word association. I'm removing the sentence until there is real support of it.

Furthermore, if anyone has access to the book, they should check the reference (Hoffer, A. and Osmond, H. The Hallucinogens (Academic Press, 1967).). Considering the second reference (mentioned above) one was completely off-topic, this one needs checking. Chris b shanks (talk) 22:09, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] In anodic plating process
As a metalurgist, I have used substances containing Adrenochrome, (in solution) to facilitate the anodic plating process. If further interested, see Mil-P-23377 Anodic Coatings. Also see "Anodizing".

[edit] Pure adrenochrome is a hallucinogen
Rinkel found that adrenochrome is not a hallucinogen. However, most likely he was using adrenochromesemicarbazide, which is inert. This substance does not get hydrolized and it does not release adrenochrome in the body. Rinkel later admitted his mistake in a largely unknown report. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cooltrance (talk • contribs) 20:24, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Adrenaline (Epinephrine) & Adrenochrome
It is possible to have adrenochrome formation from Epinephrine in solution pH slightly acid with a low concentration in sulfite & EDTA (anesthesic solution)? Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.161.216.129 (talk • contribs) 12:31, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Impossible. Epinephrine needs an oxidizing agent to form adrenochrome; specifically, silver oxide. Fuzzform —The preceding comment was added on 01:36, 16 February 2006.
[edit] William Gibson mention
I forget the name of the short story, but William Gibson mentions the adrenaline -> adrenochrome skitz thing in a short story in the collection "Burning Chrome." He has a character tell a "wiz" addict that the drug she's on must have some kinky little tail to keep the adrenaline from turning into adrenachrome, or she'd be skitz by now. -- TCallahan. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.25.62.140 (talk • contribs) 15:52, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Pop Culture"
Seeing as the references in music have being removed and that an entire page of reference to Andrenochrome probably isnt warrented perhaps a small section under "Usage in Song Lyrics" / "Popular culture references" , any thoughts 62.254.167.3 15:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)PreachanStoirm (couldnt log in at time of writing)
[edit] circulatory system effects
hello. I have few questions, answers to which imho should be included. where is exactly adrenochrome oxidised? before blood-brain bareer? or after?
another, related to link with schizophrenia - what is influence of adrenochrome on capilares and nervous cells they 'feed' ? is it similiar to adrenaline?
i've noticed circulatory system function is often ommited when discussing neurological disorders, and most things trimmed down to activity of neurotransmitters .
