Does any one know why metals accumulate in bones? Would adrenaline accumulate in bones?

Not all elements will accumulate in bones. Bones contain mainly calcium, so elements with similar behavior like Strontium for example will be accumulated.
Adrenaline is a organic substance. i think it will accumulate in the kidneys.

Half life of adrenaline in the tissues is several minutes, it won't survive long enough for the accumulation.
