Using simulations of isotropically forced helical turbulence the contributions to kinetic and magnetic alpha effects are computed. It is shown that for the parameter regimes considered in an earlier publication (Brandenburg & Subramanian 2005), the expressions for isotropic and anisotropic alpha effects give quantitatively similar results. Both kinetic and magnetic alpha effects are proportional to a relaxation time whose value, in units of the turnover time, is shown to be approximately unity and independent of the magnetic Reynolds number.
