davekm Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 COMT inhibitors stop COMT from breaking down adrenaline.I would think this causes: 1)an increase in adrenaline.2) An adrenaline rush lasts longer as the adrenaline can't be broken down.

davekm Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I ask as a green tea drinker. EGCG in green tea is a potent COMT inhibitior. Edited May 17, 2012 by davekm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekm Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I ask as a green tea drinker. EGCG in green tea is a potent COMT inhibitior. I've found out that COMT inhibitors don't increase adrenaline, as other enzymes break it down. So, Green tea is not bad for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
