Maturation of caffeine elimination in infancy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The developmental changes in caffeine elimination were studied in 7 infants aged between 2 1/2 weeks and 6 months. Adult plasma clearance rate of caffeine was achieved at 3 to 4 1/2 months of age. Plasma half-life and elimination rate reached adult levels after 3 to 4 1/2 months and seemed to exceed adult capacity thereafter. No significant changes in apparent volume of distribution were noted. Our data provide some indication of the age in infancy when the low rates of caffeine elimination in the neonate increase to the adult rate.

The Effects of Caffeine on Sleep and Maturational Markers in the Rat
Adolescence is a critical period for brain maturation during which a massive reorganization of cortical connectivity takes place. In humans, slow wave activity (<4.5 Hz) during NREM sleep was proposed to reflect cortical maturation which relies on use-dependent processes. A stimulant like caffeine, whose consumption has recently increased especially in adolescents, is known to affect sleep wake...
متن کاملEffect of caffeine on pneumogram and apnoea of infancy.
We studied the efficacy of caffeine in improving pneumogram abnormalities and relieving clinically important apnoea of infancy in 23 infants. After obtaining a 12 hour pneumogram we administered caffeine citrate in a loading dose of 20 mg/kg followed by 5 mg/kg once daily. This dose achieved a trough caffeine blood concentration of 9.6 (SD 2.0) micrograms/ml. A repeat pneumogram performed seven...
متن کاملDose- and time-related effects of caffeine on the testis in immature male rats
We previously showed that prepubertal chronic caffeine exposure adversely affected the development of the testes in male rats. Here we investigated dose- and time-related effects of caffeine consumption on the testis throughout sexual maturation in prepubertal rats. A total of 80 male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: controls and rats fed 20, 60, or 120 mg caffeine/kg/day, respec...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of methylxanthine abstinence (MA) periods on CYP1A2 activity in individuals with varying levels of caffeine consumption through development of a population pharmacokinetic model of caffeine and its major metabolite paraxanthine. This study developed and evaluated a mixed-effects pharmacokinetic model for caffeine and paraxanthine concentration-time dat...
متن کاملCytogenetic effects of caffeine during in vivo mouse oocyte maturation.
Numerous investigators have studied the reproductive and genetic toxicity of caffeine. Caffeine has also been reported to retard meiotic progression and induce aneuploidy in hamster oocytes in vitro. However, the ability of caffeine to induce aneuploidy in mammalian oocytes in vivo has not been reported. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that chemical-induced perturbations ...
