The 8th "source" is literally an LATimes blog post where the author says he splashed on pheromones for 4 days and didn't "get any looks from baristas". I'm removing it because it has no place as a credible source of anything. SolidInk (talk) 12:47, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
I don't see any reason why a private company should be using wikipedia to sell their products. I have removed a link to a company.--70.22.93.37 22:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)CourtDog What is going on with the second reference. Is the claim really being made that there is no connection what so ever between mood and behavior. It would be more scientific to claim ambiguity or reference psychological studies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.159.94.93 (talk) 03:05, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
All chemicals can and should be covered by anyone willing to use the time and resources but I don't think this chemical would pass any real test. Anyone with time and money to kill should post the results but I am pretty sure this chemical will fail at controlling minds/sex drive. A chemical test to confirm this is what the label says it is would also be interesting. There are drugs and perfumes that do effect sex drive on certain people as with hypnosis and placebo. If anyone does want to post test results it should be tested on as many people as possible with a link to video of the test. I found the statement about it only working on heterosexuals to be very amusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.180.115.141 (talk) 12:08, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
I would like to make a major change in the text so that it states that androstadienone is a product of pregnenolone, NOT testosterone. This was reported by Kwan TK, Kraevskaya MA, Makin HL, Trafford DJ, Gower DB. (1997). Use of gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric techniques in studies of androst-16-ene and androgen biosynthesis in human testis; cytosolic specific binding of 5alpha-androst-16-en-3-one. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol., 60, 137-46. Unless someone can reference a study that supports testosterone as a precursor for androstadienone, I will make these changes shortly.

Androsterone and Androstenone confused?
[edit]On this page it says the following: ...can be converted into androstenone (a more potent and odorous pheromone)...
But on the page for androstenone contradicts this, it says the following: In humans, androstenone also has been suggested to be a pheromone; however, there is little scientific data to support this claim.
And the page on the similarly named androsterone says this: Androsterone is found in the human axilla and skin as well as in the urine. It may also be secreted by human sebaceous glands. It is described as having a musky odor similar to that of androstenol. Androsterone has been found to affect human behavior when smelled.
It appears something was lost in translation here as the properties of androsterone and androstenone have been mixed up.
