“Emulsion with Siloxanetriol alginate caffeine was considered more indicated to promote the lipolytic<br />
action on fatty tissue, acting as a complement to treat cellulite.” (Velasco M V, and others).<br />

together with other intoxicants.<br />
“Cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) are key enzymes in the metabolism<br />
of caffeine. Gluthatione S-transferase alpha1 may also be active in the metabolism of caffeine.”<br />
(Bech B H, and others).<br />
Individuals who are homozygous for the Cytochrome P4501A2*1A allele are "rapid" caffeine metabolizers,<br />
whereas carriers of the variant Cytochrome P4501A2*1F are "slow" caffeine metabolizers,<br />
ascribed to differences in the activities of the arylamine acetylating enzymes (isozymic N-acetyltransferase<br />
variants) of the liver, intestinal mucosa and other tissues. The acetylator status is determined by<br />
measuring the peak height ratio of two urinary caffeine metabolites, 5-acetylamino-6-formylamino-3methyluracil<br />
and 1-methylxanthine, one to four hours after drinking a strong cup of coffee.<br />
The classification of the patient as slow or rapid acetylator has statistical correlations with many diseases.<br />
“The slow acetylator (N-acetyltransferase phenotype) status is related with:<br />
Increased risk of certain side effects in slow acetylators treated with isoniazid (particularly peripheral<br />
neuropathies and lupus erythematosus).<br />
Hypersensibility reactions with sulfonamides (including Lyell and Stevens-Johnson syndromes),<br />
Poor tolerance to sulfasalazine and dapsone.<br />
Risk of developing primitive liver cancer.<br />
Predisposition to mesothelioma in subjects exposed to asbestos.<br />
Predisposition to atopic diseases.<br />
Increased frequency of Parkinson's disease.<br />
The fast acetylator status is related with:<br />
Myelotoxicity induced by amonafide.<br />
Increased risk of nephropathy on non-smoking type 1 diabetics.” (Furet Y, and others).<br />
“Significant differences in the proportion of rapid acetylators were observed between type 1 (53.6%)<br />
and type 2 (33.7%) diabetics, and between the control group (26%).” (el-Yazigi A, and others).<br />
“Women with slow N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) and rapid cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) activity<br />
were at highest risk relative to women with rapid NAT2 and slow Cytochrome P4501A2 activity, for<br />
lung adenocarcinoma.” (Seow A, and others).<br />
“Cytochrome P450 (CYP1A2) enzyme activity was determined in healthy Swedish and Korean subjects,<br />
on the basis of the 4-h plasma paraxanthine/caffeine ratio. The mean ratio was 1.54-fold higher in<br />
Swedes than in Koreans. Smokers had a significantly higher ratio (higher CYP1A2 activity) than nonsmokers,<br />
while Swedish oral contraceptive users had a significantly lower ratio than non-users.<br />
Koreans displayed a significantly lower mean ratio than Swedes having the same CYP1A2 genotype,<br />
smoking habit and oral contraceptive use. None of the investigated CYP1A2 haplotypes are critical in<br />
inducing variations in enzyme activity, with the exception of CYP1A2*1F.” (Ghotbi R, and others).<br />
“Daily consumption of at least three cups of coffee significantly increased Cytochrome P450 1A2 enzyme<br />
activity in both Serbs (P = 0.0002) and Swedes…Significantly higher plasma paraxanthine/caffeine<br />
(17X/137X) ratio was detected in Serbian smokers compared to non-smokers…Habitual heavy<br />
coffee consumption increases Cytochrome P450 1A2 activity. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons<br />
formed during roasting of coffee beans might partly be responsible for this effect.” (Djordjevic N, and<br />
others).<br />
XVII -51- To improve the endurance performance in competitions (ergogenic effect):<br />
“Caffeine improves performance and endurance during prolonged, exhaustive exercise. To a lesser<br />
degree, it also enhances short-term, high-intensity athletic performance. Caffeine improves concentration,<br />
reduces fatigue, and enhances alertness.” (Paluska S A).
