Possible Interaction: Caffeine and Gaba Agents

supplement:

Caffeine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Caffeine inhibits adenosinergic receptors, which in turn can produce activation via interaction with GABAergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission.
Sleep  •  2004  |  View Paper
Caffeine altered the construction of GABAergic neuronal networks in V1, as reflected by a reduced number of somatostatin‐containing GABA neurons at postnatal days 6–7, with the remaining ones showing poorly developed dendritic arbors.
Experimental Neurology  •  2017  |  View Paper
These results suggest that (a) the GABAergic system has direct role in the regulation of LA, and (b) caffeine potentiates LA by antagonism of the adenosine receptor and activation of the dopaminergic system which, in turn, reduces GABAergic activity through the reduction of cholinergic system.
Neurochemical Research  •  2004  |  View Paper
Biochemical studies showed that caffeine in the nontolerant condition reduced GABAergic activity in cerebral cortex, corpus striaturn, cerebellum, hypothalamus and pons-medulla; but tolerance to caffeine (10 or 20 mg/kg per day, po) pushed up the GABAergic activity to the control value in all these regions of brain.
Neurochemical Research  •  2004  |  View Paper
Additionally, caffeine has been found to suppress the inhibitory ( GABAergic ) activity and modulate GABA receptors.
