I think Linkage knows alot more about this.. I have just done a little reading on it today.. but I think its an enzyme that is responsible for clearing out/ cleaning up dopamine and norepinepherine in your system. (

Linkage's above posts about green tea got me looking into it, b/c I am pretty sure I have a shortage of dopamine. The below article is kind of interesting, but technical.. apparently there are 3 types of the COMT gene.

One of which is the valine / valine variant which might clear out too much dopamine ( ??) and according to the article is thought to possibly be one of causes of bipolar / major depression , etc.

anyway here is the article.. if anyone else can decipher this I would be interested.
