Caffeine
Interesting story about how caffeine can stimulate the
muscles of the elderly. Now the real question is what is it’s mode of action?
In muscles of the young there is very little effect, so what do you think is
happening?
Caffeine in general, stimulates the central nervous system
and is used as a stimulant, and to treat headaches in combination with aspirin,
for example. It has also been suggested
that caffeine alleviates the pain of a headache by altering the flow of blood
through the blood vessels. Perhaps by doing this in the muscle, will have a
similar response?
Caffeine is also suppose to keep you alert and reduce
dementia and delay Alzheimer’s. SO keep on having your morning Joe!
