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.
To determine your COBRA premiums, youâll have to add what your employer has been contributing toward your premiums to what youâve been paying in premiums, and then add the 2 percent service charge. An Example. Letâs say you have $125 taken from each paycheck for health insurance. You get paid twice per month, so your portion of the monthly premiums is $250. Your employer contributes $400 per month toward your health insurance premiums, so the total cost of your job-based health plan is $650 per month.
