background and objectives: microbial caffeine removal is a green solution for treatment of caffeinated products and agro-industrial effluents. we directed this investigation to optimizing a bio-decaffeination process with growing cultures of pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes through taguchi methodology which is a structured statistical approach that can be lowered variations in a process through de...

BACKGROUND Previous studies examined caffeine use and caffeine dependence and risk for the symptoms, or diagnosis, of psychiatric disorders. The current study aimed to determine if generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, phobias, major depressive disorder (MDD), anorexia nervosa (AN), or bulimia nervosa (BN) shared common genetic or environmental factors with caffeine use, caffeine ...

The occurrence of contaminants in wastewaters, and their behavior during wastewater treatment and production of drinking water are key issues to re-use water resources. The present research aims to remove caffeine from aqueous solutions via adsorption technique, using Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an adsorbent under different experimental conditions. The processing variables such as p...

development of an environmental friendly and cost-effective process for microbial degradation of caffeine to non-toxic compounds are promising to solve the problems of physiochemical extraction of caffeine in the treatment the caffeine containing agro-industrial effluents. thirteen bacterial strains, isolated from tea plantation soils in the north region of iran, were screened to show their abi...

there is a great call for using microbial bio-decaffeination approach to remove caffeinefrom caffeinated products and industrial wastes. we aimed in this study to screen strainsof yeasts which exhibit high caffeine tolerance and to investigate the bio-degradation ofcaffeine under growth conditions. sixteen yeast strains were isolated from the cultivatedtea soils collected from sites of northern...

In this paper we investigate the effects of caffeine (5-20 mM) on ferret papillary muscle. The intracellular Ca2+ concentration ( [Ca2+]i) was measured from the light emitted by the photoprotein aequorin, which had previously been microinjected into superficial cells. Isometric tension was measured simultaneously. The rapid application of caffeine produced a transient increase of [Ca2+]i, which...

Caffeine robustly enhances transmitter release from the hippocampal mossy fiber terminals, although it remains uncertain whether calcium mobilization through presynaptic ryanodine receptors mediates this enhancement. In this study, we adopted a selective adenosine A1 blocker to assess relative contribution of A1 receptors and ryanodine receptors in caffeine-induced synaptic enhancement. Applica...
