Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that increases the levels of dopamine in the brain. It is also a vasodilator, which may be responsible for its ability to reduce blood pressure. Caffeine has been shown to inhibit the production of insulin and reduce insulin resistance, which is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Caffeine binds to receptors in the human body and stimulates the release of cyclic AMP, an intracellular signal that affects the activity of many enzymes, including adenylate cyclase.
