When caffeine enters the body, the liver releases enzymes to metabolize it before releasing it into the bloodstream. This can temporarily impair the liver's blood sugar uptake and release functions.
Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system by binding in areas that are reserved for substances that inhibit neuronal firing. This results in a decrease in reaction time and perception of fatigue, and an increase in alertness. Caffeine blocks an enzyme that breaks down cyclic adenosine monophosphate (C-AMP). High levels of C-AMP increase lipolysis, which results in the release of free fatty acids into the blood stream. Muscle cells then absorb the free fatty acids and use them for energy production.
