Do Comt Inhibitors Cause A Constant State Of Raised Adrenaline?

[davekm]

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.

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.
