Toxins and stressors often kill cells, for example in the brain, liver, and |
|
|
|
immune system, by causing the cells to expend energy faster than it can be |
|
|
|
replaced. There is an enzyme system that repairs genetic damage, called |
|
|
|
"PARP." The activation of this enzyme is a major energy drain, and substances |
|
|
|
that inhibit it can prevent the death of the cell. Niacin and caffeine can |
|
|
|
inhibit this enzyme sufficiently to prevent this characteristic kind of cell |
|
|
|
death, without preventing the normal cellular turnover<strong>;</strong> that |

Giftstoffe und Stressoren können Zellen oft töten, zum Beispiel im Gehirn, in der Leber, und im Immunsystem, |

indem sie dafür sorgen, dass die Zellen ihre Energie schneller verbrauchen, als sie ersetzt werden kann. "PARP" |
|

ist ein Enzymsystem, das genetische Schäden repariert. Die Aktivierung dieses Enzyms sorgt für große |

Energieverschwendung, und Stoffe, die es hemmen, können den Zelltod aufhalten. Niacin und Koffein können dieses |

Enzym ausreichend hemmen, um diesem typischen Zelltod vorzubeugen, ohne den normalen Zellenumsatz zu |

The purines are important in a great variety of regulatory processes, and |
|
|
|
caffeine fits into this complex system in other ways that are often protective |
|
|
|
against stress. For example, it has been proposed that tea can protect against |
|
|
|
circulatory disease by preventing abnormal clotting, and the mechanism seems |
|
|
|
to be that caffeine (or theophylline) tends to restrain stress-induced |
|
|
|
platelet aggregaton. |

|
|
|
When platelets clump, they release various factors that contribute to the |
|
|
|
development of a clot. Serotonin is one of these, and is released by other |
|
|
|
kinds of cell, including mast cells and basophils and nerve cells. Serotonin |
|
|
|
produces vascular spasms and increased blood pressure, blood vessel leakiness |
|
|
|
and inflammation, and the release of many other stress mediators. Caffeine, |
|
|
|
besides inhibiting the platelet aggregation, also tends to inhibit the release |
|
|
|
of serotonin, or to promote its uptake and binding. |

J. W. Davis, et al., 1996, found that high uric acid levels seem to protect |
|
|
|
against the development of Parkinson"s disease. They ascribed this effect to |
|
|
|
uric acid"s antioxidant function. Coffee drinking, which <em>lowers</em> uric |
|
|

acid levels, nevertheless appeared to be much more strongly protective against |
|
|

Parkinson"s disease than uric acid. |

it does it. The studies that have tried to gather evidence to show that coffee |

is harmful, and found the opposite, have provided insight into several |

carbon dioxide"s, and the thyroid hormone"s. Noticing that coffee drinking is |
|
|
|
associated with a low incidence of Parkinson"s disease could focus attention |
|

on the ways that thyroid and carbon dioxide and serotonin, estrogen, mast |

cells, histamine and blood clotting interact to produce nerve cell death. |

The observation that coffee drinkers have a low incidence of suicide, for |
|
|
|
example, might be physiologically related to the large increase in suicide |
|

|
rate among people who use the newer antidepressants called "serotonin reuptake |
|
|

inhibitors." Serotonin excess causes several of the features of depression, |
|
|
|
such as learned helplessness and reduced metabolic rate, while coffee |
|
|
|
stimulates the <em>uptake</em> (inactivation or storage) of serotonin, |
|
|

increases metabolic energy, and tends to improve mood. In animal studies, it |

reverses the state of helplessness or despair, often more effectively than |

so-called antidepressants. |

Wenn Blutplättchen verklumpen, schütten sie mehrere Faktoren aus, die zur Entwicklung einer Gerinnung beitragen. |

Serotonin ist einer dieser Faktoren, und es wird von anderen Zellenarten ausgeschüttet, wie zum Beispiel |

Often, a woman who thinks that she has symptoms of hypoglycemia says that |

drinking even the smallest amount of coffee makes her anxious and shaky. |

Sometimes, I have suggested that they try drinking about two ounces of coffee |

Some women have noticed that the effect of a progesterone supplement is |

stronger when they take it with coffee. This is similar to the synergy between |

increasing cyclic AMP and decreasing serotonin in thyroid cells, for example, |
