Valerenic acid is a positive allosteric modulator of GABA A receptors that displays preference for Î²2 or Î²3 subunit receptors. Directly activates the receptor and also blocks the channel at high concentrations.hom et al (2007) Valerenic acid potentiates and inhibits GABAA receptors: molecular mechanism and subunit specificity.

COBRA Premiums. Health insurance premiums that you pay out-of-pocket count as a deductible medical expense. COBRA premiums count as a deductible health insurance premium as long as you're paying the premiums yourself. If your employer is still subsidizing your premium, you can't deduct that portion. For example, say your premium would be $400 per month, but your employer subsidizes $50 of it so you only pay $350.
The maximum amount that the FSA can require to be paid for COBRA coverage for the remainder of 2011 is 102 percent times 1/12 of the applicable premium for 2011 times the number of months remaining in 2011 after the date of the qualifying event.bligation to Offer COBRA Coverage In general, employers with HRAs are required to offer COBRA coverage to qualified beneficiaries who would otherwise lose their HRA coverage due to a qualifying event, even if the HRA includes a spend-down feature.
