We studied the role of caffeine intake on endothelial function in SLE by assessing its effect on circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) both ex vivo in SLE patients and in vitro in healthy donors (HD) treated with SLE sera.MethodsWe enrolled SLE patients without traditional cardiovascular risks factors. Caffeine intake was evaluated with a 7-day food… Continue reading #Caffeine improves systemic #lupus erythematosus endothelial dysfunction by promoting endothelial progenitor cells survival

Genetic investigation into the broad health implications of #caffeine: evidence from phenome-wide, proteome-wide and metabolome-wide Mendelian randomization
BackgroundCaffeine is one of the most utilized drugs in the world, yet its clinical effects are not fully understood. Circulating caffeine levels are influenced by the interplay between consumption behaviour and metabolism. This study aimed to investigate the effects of circulating caffeine levels by considering genetically predicted variation in caffeine metabolism.MethodsLeveraging genetic variants related to… Continue reading Genetic investigation into the broad health implications of #caffeine: evidence from phenome-wide, proteome-wide and metabolome-wide Mendelian randomization
Effects of chronic #caffeine on patterns of #brain blood flow and behavior throughout the sleep–wake cycle in freely behaving mice
Caffeine has significant effects on neurovascular activity and behavior throughout the sleep–wake cycle. We used a minimally invasive microchip/video system to continuously record effects of caffeine in the drinking water of freely behaving mice. Chronic caffeine shifted both rest and active phases by up to 2 h relative to the light–dark cycle in a dose-dependent fashion.… Continue reading Effects of chronic #caffeine on patterns of #brain blood flow and behavior throughout the sleep–wake cycle in freely behaving mice
Caffeine consumption as a risk factor for childhood and adolescence migraine
Background: Caffeine consumption is a risk factor for chronic daily headache but few studies have addressed relationships between pediatric patient caffeine levels and headache severity. We examined associations between serum and urine caffeine levels and headache severity in childhood and adolescent migraine cases.Methods: Levels of caffeine and caffeine metabolites in serum and urine samples were… Continue reading Caffeine consumption as a risk factor for childhood and adolescence migraine
Increased Intake of Both Caffeine and Non-Caffeine Coffee Components Is Associated with Reduced NAFLD Severity in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes
Coffee may protect against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but the roles of the caffeine and non-caffeine components are unclear. Coffee intake by 156 overweight subjects (87% with Type-2-Diabetes, T2D) was assessed via a questionnaire, with 98 subjects (all T2D) also providing a 24 h urine sample for quantification of coffee metabolites by LC–MS/MS. NAFLD… Continue reading Increased Intake of Both Caffeine and Non-Caffeine Coffee Components Is Associated with Reduced NAFLD Severity in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes
Effects of Caffeine Consumption on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Treatment: A Systematic Review of Animal Studies
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity. ADHD impairments arise from irregularities primarily in dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) circuits within the prefrontal cortex. Due to ADHD medication’s controversial side effects and high rates of diagnosis, alternative/complementary pharmacological therapeutic approaches for ADHD are needed.… Continue reading Effects of Caffeine Consumption on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Treatment: A Systematic Review of Animal Studies
The impact of #caffeine consumption on clinical symptoms in patients with #bipolar disorder: A systematic review
In healthy populations, caffeine appears to have beneficial effects on health; however, patients with bipolar disorder (BD) are routinely advised to limit caffeine use in psychoeducation programmes. We aimed to examine all literature reporting whether caffeine intake/withdrawal impacts the natural course of BD, in terms of clinical outcomes. MethodsPubMed, Embase and PsycINFO were searched (up… Continue reading The impact of #caffeine consumption on clinical symptoms in patients with #bipolar disorder: A systematic review
Association Between Maternal #Caffeine Consumption and Metabolism and Neonatal Anthropometry
Higher caffeine consumption during pregnancy has been associated with lower birth weight. However, associations of caffeine consumption, based on both plasma concentrations of caffeine and its metabolites, and self-reported caffeinated beverage intake, with multiple measures of neonatal anthropometry, have yet to be examined. Objective To evaluate the association between maternal caffeine intake and neonatal anthropometry,… Continue reading Association Between Maternal #Caffeine Consumption and Metabolism and Neonatal Anthropometry
Effects of #Caffeine and Acute Aerobic #Exercise on Working Memory and Caffeine Withdrawal
Studies show that a single bout of exercise confers cognitive benefits. However, many individuals use psychoactive substances such as caffeine to enhance cognitive performance.. The objectives of this study were to compare the effects of acute moderate intensity aerobic exercise to caffeine on working memory (WM) and caffeine withdrawal symptoms (CWS). In Phase I, non-caffeine… Continue reading Effects of #Caffeine and Acute Aerobic #Exercise on Working Memory and Caffeine Withdrawal
