Mode of Action:
1. Caffeine acts in the central nervous system (CNS) as an inhibitor of adenosine thereby inhibiting the negative effects that adenosine induces on neurotransmission (adenosine mediates the perception of drowsiness). Caffeine prevents adenosine from acting and results in alertness and delayed fatigue. This enhances the release of dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine and GABA. [2], [6].
2. Caffeine increases intracellular concentrations of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by inhibiting phosphodiesterase enzymes in skeletal muscle and adipose tissues. Caffeine also increases adrenaline. These actions promote lipolysis via the activation of hormone-sensitive lipases with the release of free fatty acids and glycerol. The increased availability of these fuels in skeletal muscle acts to spare the consumption of muscle glycogen. This prolongs energy [5].
3. Stimulates calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum during muscle contraction. This increases the strength and duration of contractions in skeletal muscles [2], [6].
