Cluster Number:
Wiki Number: W031
Diagnosis: Caffeine Dependence
US Patients:
World Patients:
Sex Ratio:
Age Onset:
Brain Area: Use increases dopamine and norepinephrine
Symptoms: Stimulates reward system, but not enough to hijack it like cocaine.
Progression: Stimulating adnosine receptors induces tiredness & need to sleep;
Causes: Effects of coffee lessen and tolerance increases because the body makes more adenosine receptors.
Medications: None listed.
Therapies: Reduction in coffee to decaffinated coffee or teas. Reduce children’s soft-drink consumption.

- Chemical sensory investigation in green and roasted beans Coffea arabica L. (cv. Yellow Bourbon) by various brewing methods using electronic sensorsby Hyangyeon Jeong on January 25, 2023
This study investigated the effects of four brewing methods (cold and hot brew, espresso, and cezve) on the chemical sensory properties of green and roasted coffee beans (cv. Yellow Bourbon) extract. The caffeine and chlorogenic acid contents of the coffee were analyzed using HPLC. The taste and volatile aromatic compounds of coffee were analyzed using an electronic tongue and nose, respectively, and the results were analyzed using principal component analysis. For the taste components analyzed...
- Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Response to RedBull® Energy Drink Intake in Young Adultsby Rita Costa on January 21, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: After the consumption of Redbull®, there was a decrease in the velocities of the carotid arteries and the middle cerebral artery as well as a decrease in cardiac output accompanied by a decrease in heart rate and a slight, although not significant, increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressures. However, it is still unclear which pathophysiological mechanisms are responsible for these changes.
- Brain activity during a working memory task after daily caffeine intake and caffeine withdrawal: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trialby Yu-Shiuan Lin on January 18, 2023
Acute caffeine intake has been found to increase working memory (WM)-related brain activity in healthy adults without improving behavioral performances. The impact of daily caffeine intake-a ritual shared by 80% of the population worldwide-and of its discontinuation on working memory and its neural correlates remained unknown. In this double-blind, randomized, crossover study, we examined working memory functions in 20 young healthy non-smokers (age: 26.4 ± 4.0 years; body mass index: 22.7 ± 1.4...
- Individual and combined effect of ions species and organic matter on the removal of microcontaminants by Fe3+-EDDS/solar-light activated persulfateby Alejandro Cabrera-Reina on January 15, 2023
This work is focused on improving the understanding of the complex water matrix interactions occurring during the removal of a microcontaminants mixture (acetamiprid, carbamazepine and caffeine) by solar/Fe^(3+)-EDDS/persulfate process. The individual and combined effects of sulfates (100-500 mg/L), nitrates (20-160 mg/L), bicarbonates (77-770 mg/L) and chlorides (300-1500 mg/L) were assessed by comparing the outcomes obtained in different synthetic and actual water matrices. In general, the...
