Relationship between caffeine discrimination and caffeine plasma levels. 1981

H E Modrow, and F A Holloway, and H D Christensen, and J M Carney

Rats, trained to discriminate 32 mg/kg caffeine from saline in a two-lever operant task, were tested for the presence of caffeine-appropriate lever responding at various intervals after the intraperitoneal injection of 32 mg/kg caffeine. Following completion of all behavioral tests, caffeine plasma levels were determined in the same animals at the same intervals after caffeine administration. After injection, both caffeine levels and caffeine-appropriate responding showed rapid increases followed by a differential decline.

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
