Vandalization

There's a section called Adrenaline Junkie which was either created or replaced - it's current contents are joking in nature. Just a heads up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.173.60.114 (talk) 10:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I think this might explain things. --WikiDonn (talk) 19:30, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

I think "Adrenaline Junkie" and "Adrenaline Addiction" should both be deleted unless they can cite peer reviewed research (rather than an article in Psychology Today). Woood (talk) 06:03, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Consistency

Now I have my own opinions on what this article should be called but it would appear that epinephrine has 'won', therefore can this article be cleaned up to make usage consistent? "Epinephrine acts by binding to a variety of adrenergic receptors. Adrenaline is a nonselective agonist of all adrenergic receptors, including α1, α2, β1, β2, and β3 receptors." 94.171.59.53 (talk) 20:33, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Not a bad idea, since a separate Adrenaline article (covering physiological function, not drug and chemical function) is in the works. Ronk01 talk 18:55, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Another editor has come and changed all the citations of "epinephrine" to "adrenaline". Perhaps we should put up some notification to avoid these frequent back and forth edits in the future. Ideas? --Tea with toast (話) 20:18, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Bad Image.

I think someone forgot to scale the lead image correctly. 74.132.249.206 (talk) 04:25, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

"adrenaline rush" endorphins, reference needed

In the section on "adrenaline junkie", the references provided (What Is An Adrenaline Junkie? What Can You Do If You Are One?by Elizabeth Scott, M.S. (updated: November 1, 2007), and Fight-or-flight reaction - Explanations - Brain-ChangingMinds.org) provide a good general introduction to the topic of "adrenaline junkies", but neither of them are clear on the endorphin issue. The first does not mention the word "endorphin" at all", and the second mentions it only once. Delving into the reference of the second article ([url=http://ajplegacy.physiology.org/content/33/2/356.full.pdf "THE EMERGENCY FUNCTION OF THE ADRENAL MEDULLA IN PAIN AND THE MAJOR EMOTIONS" BY W. B. CANNON]) reveals that the reference itself does not mention "endorphin" at all. So I have moved the citations up to the sentence preceding the endorphin sentence, and I have added a {{citation needed}} on the endorphin sentence. flaming () 05:22, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Last edit "epinephrine is synthetic adrenaline"

I have no ability to say whether this is correct, but it seems inconsistent with the Terminology and other sections? 122.106.177.130 (talk) 07:27, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
