Adreno chrome pigments are compounds formed by the oxidation of adreno chrome with the formula C₉H₉NO₃. A derivative of chromium carbozole is a hemostatic agent. Although the compound's name has nothing to do with the element chromium, the suffix -chrome indicates a color connection, since pure epinephrine pigments are dark purple.
Adrenaline has long been a hot topic in conspiracy theory circles: it's the drug of Hollywood elites, it's addictive, it's taken from children tortured in Satanic rituals, etc. However, it's time to hear what the scientific community has to say about adrenaline, from a serious and fact-based perspective.
Adreno chrome pigment is a compound produced by the oxidation of epinephrine (epinephrine), with the formula C9H9NO3. A derivative of chromium carbozole is a hemostatic agent.
- In 1954, Hoffer et al. reported that adrenergin, an oxidative metabolite of epinephrine, has simulated psychotropic effects in humans when administered intravenously.
- This and other observations have led researchers to speculate that overproduction of adrenaline causes some of the symptoms of schizophrenia.
The fight or flight response to stress is associated with a rise in epinephrine, and the oxidation of adreno chrome leads to an excess of epinephrine pigment.
- If stressed people carry a genetic aberration linked to schizophrenia, levels of adreno chrome may be higher than normal and may be linked to paranoia and hallucinations.
- Patients with hypoglycemia who have one or more genetic aberrations seen in schizophrenia and are therefore at high risk of developing psychosis caused by adrenergic pigments produced by the oxidation of excess adrenaline.
Adrenaline also has a "Jekyll and Hyde" relationship with serotonin, so it also affects tryptophan and its other major metabolite, niacin.
Adreno chrome also produces a large number of free radicals, causing oxidative stress and eventually depleting the schizophrenia antioxidant defense system, resulting in deficiency of glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase.
