- Time to Recover From Daily Caffeine Intakeby Yu-Shiuan Lin on February 21, 2022
Caffeine elicits widespread effects in the central nervous system and is the most frequently consumed psychostimulant worldwide. First evidence indicates that, during daily intake, the elimination of caffeine may slow down, and the primary metabolite, paraxanthine, may accumulate. The neural impact of such adaptions is virtually unexplored. In this report, we leveraged the data of a laboratory study with N = 20 participants and three within-subject conditions: caffeine (150 mg caffeine × 3/day ×...
- Investigation of potential behavioral and physiological effects of caffeine on D. magnaby Bruno Nunes on January 30, 2022
With the ever-increasing consumption of pharmaceutical compounds, their presence in the environment is now an undisputable reality. The majority of these compounds are released into the wild after their therapeutic use, as biotransformation products or in their original form. The presence of this class of compounds in the environment, due to their biological properties, can exert effects on non-target organisms, with adverse consequences. In addition, some bioactive substances, such as...
