Comparative pharmacokinetics of caffeine in young and elderly men

Comparative pharmacokinetics of caffeine in young and elderly men The phamacokinetic behavior of caffeine was compared in a group of eight healthy young men aged 20.5±2.0 years (mean ± SD), and in a group of eight healthy, elderly men aged 71.2±3.9 years. Each subject was given a 5 mg/kg dose of caffeine as either an aqueous oral solution or an intravenous infusion over 30 min using a randomized crossover design. Plasma and urine samples were collected for 24 hr following each dose and analyzed for caffeine content using high-performance liquid chromatography. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Springer Journals

Abstract

The phamacokinetic behavior of caffeine was compared in a group of eight healthy young men aged 20.5±2.0 years (mean ± SD), and in a group of eight healthy, elderly men aged 71.2±3.9 years. Each subject was given a 5 mg/kg dose of caffeine as either an aqueous oral solution or an intravenous infusion over 30 min using a randomized crossover design. Plasma and urine samples were collected for 24 hr following each dose and analyzed for caffeine content using high-performance liquid chromatography.
