respect to both COX-1 and COX-2 activity. The assay can be used to assess the relative selectivity of plant-derived inhibitors on COX-1 and COX-2. Assay conditions were optimized for both enzymes with respect to concentration of cofactors (l-epinephrine‚ reduced glutathione‚ and hematin)‚ activation time (enzyme and cofactors)‚ reaction time‚ and pH. Moreover‚ the kinetic parameters‚ Km and Kcat.‚ of both enzymes were estimated. Five COX inhibitors were used to validate the assay‚ indomethacin

(Coughlin‚ 2011) PTSD patients also have elevated plasma norepinephrine and 24-hour urine norepinephrine levels which are also associated with stress and anxiety. Positive links between PTSD and cardiovascular disease have been observed in a growing number of studies‚ but some have design limitations. PTSD can be a predictor of

Norepinephrine is the neurotransmitter that helps control alertness and arousal. Anna used norepinephrine on her college tours in order to stay alert and observe her surroundings to determine if the college is right for her. It is crucial for Anna to stay focused and alert during tours because she needs
