Caffeine ingestion has been demonstrated to increase circulating epinephrine (Epi) and norepinephrine (NE), elevate free fatty acids (FFAs), and alter heart rate, blood pressure (BP), and ventilation in humans. Whether these physiological responses are a result of caffeine acting through direct stimulation of specific tissues via adenosine receptors or secondary to Epi increases is not known. In the present experiment, six tetraplegics (level of spinal cord lesions C4-C6) were tested at rest for 3 h to investigate the effects of 6 mg/kg caffeine in capsule form on subjects with impaired Epi responses. Ventilatory, cardiovascular, metabolic, and hormonal data were collected every 15-20 min after caffeine ingestion. There were no significant (P > 0.05) increases in plasma Epi after caffeine ingestion [0.19 +/- 0.04 (SE) nM (preingestion); 0.20 +/- 0.04 nM (80 min postingestion)] or in plasma NE [0.53 +/- 0.16 nM (preingestion); 0.49 +/- 0.09 nM (80 min postingestion; P > 0.05)]. However, significant increases were found in serum FFAs [0.53 +/- 0.08 nM (preingestion); 1.03 +/- 0.20 mM (40 min postingestion; P < 0.05] and in glycerol. These concentrations remained elevated throughout the experiment. BP increased in the first hour postingestion. These data demonstrate that caffeine in physiological doses directly stimulates specific tissues, i.e., adipose and peripheral vascular tissue, and these effects are not secondary to increases in Epi after caffeine ingestion.

Capsinoids are non-pungent compounds with molecular structures similar to capsaicin, which has accepted thermogenic properties. To assess the acute effect of a plant-derived preparation of capsinoids on energy metabolism, we determined RMR and non-protein respiratory quotient (NPRQ) after ingestion of different doses of the capsinoids. Thirteen healthy subjects received four doses of the capsinoids (1, 3, 6 and 12 mg) and placebo using a crossover, randomised, double-blind trial. After a 10 h overnight fast as inpatients, RMR was measured by indirect calorimetry for 45 min before and 120 min after ingesting capsinoids or placebo. Blood pressure and axillary temperature were measured before ( − 55 and − 5 min) and after (60 and 120 min) dosing. Before dosing, mean RMR was 6247 (se92) kJ/d and NPRQ was 0·86 (se0·01). At 120 min after dosing, metabolic rate and NPRQ remained similar across the four capsinoids and placebo doses. Capsinoids also had no influence on blood pressure or axillary temperature. Capsinoids provided in four doses did not affect metabolic rate and fuel partitioning in human subjects when measured 2 h after exposure. Longer exposure and higher capsinoids doses may be required to cause meaningful acute effects on energy metabolism.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate acute effects of SE on post-exercise hemodynamic responses for 1-h in normotensive sedentary young women. Methods: Sixteen women (21.56±1.21yr; 159.6±0.5 cm; 54.53±6.02 kg) were randomly assigned to SE (n = 8) and control (C) groups (n = 8). SE group performed 20 stretches for the whole body. Each SE was repeated 2 times. Rest interval between repetitions and movement 10 s were considered. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), mean arterial BP (MAP), rate pressure product (RPP), pulse pressure (PP) and heart rate (HR) were measured during 1-h (minutes: 0,15,30,45 and 60) in SE and C groups. Results: There were significant decreases (P
