Caffeine, cyclic nucleotides, and breast disease. 1979

J P Minton, and M K Foecking, and D J Webster, and R H Matthews

Methylxanthine consumption is associated with the development of fibrocystic disease of the breast. Methylxanthine abstention is associated with resolution of signs and symptoms of fibrocystic disease. Abstinence from methylxanthine consumption decreased breast biopsies and the need for major breast surgery because of benign disease. Methylxanthine consumption is associated with elevated cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP) values in fibrocystic dsiease over those obtained in normal breast tissue.

D002110 Caffeine A methylxanthine naturally occurring in some beverages and also used as a pharmacological agent. Caffeine's most notable pharmacological effect is as a central nervous system stimulant, increasing alertness and producing agitation. It also relaxes SMOOTH MUSCLE, stimulates CARDIAC MUSCLE, stimulates DIURESIS, and appears to be useful in the treatment of some types of headache. Several cellular actions of caffeine have been observed, but it is not entirely clear how each contributes to its pharmacological profile. Among the most important are inhibition of cyclic nucleotide PHOSPHODIESTERASES, antagonism of ADENOSINE RECEPTORS, and modulation of intracellular calcium handling. 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine,Caffedrine,Coffeinum N,Coffeinum Purrum,Dexitac,Durvitan,No Doz,Percoffedrinol N,Percutaféine,Quick-Pep,Vivarin,Quick Pep,QuickPep
