1 It has previously been shown that caffeine, in a dose-dependent manner, increases the expression of the protooncogene c-fos in the rat brain, predominantly in the caudate-putamen and tuberculum olfactorium. Caffeine Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit Rattus norvegicus
2 Thus, c-fos is induced in rat striatum following administration of caffeine and other xanthines that (provided they enter the brain) block adenosine receptors, suggesting an involvement of central adenosine receptors. Caffeine Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit Rattus norvegicus
