Abstract
The therapeutic benefits of coffee consumption against AD are apparent from various
recent research studies
Research indicates that caffeine in the diet is linked to the reduction of
hyperphosphorylated tau and can reduce the severity of AD symptoms
Caffeine is a non selective adenosine A2Areceptor antagonist
The A2A receptor is also expressed in the brain, where it has important roles in the
regulation of glutamate and dopamine release, making it a potential therapeutic target for
the treatment of conditions such as insomnia, pain, depression, and Parkinson's disease
Description
Caffeine, the principal alkaloid in coffee, tea, and energy drinks, is one of the most consumed
psychoactive substances in the world
Studies suggest that coffee consumption affects health-related variables such as cancer
,exercise performance, diabetes, and blood pressure. Caffeine has been shown to affect
multiple aspects of the central nervous system
