Caffeine has numerous short-and long-term effects on the body, including effects on the liver. Caffeine affects the blood sugar function of the liver, and it may help prevent diabetes or diabetes symptoms. Whether or not caffeine can help prevent liver disease is still a subject of much study.
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.
