“…Although caffeine is known to be a PDE inhibitor, 9 its PDE inhibitory effect is weak and the K i is in the range of several millimolar. 19 The results from our studies suggest that, in the case of coffee, the PDEinhibiting potential of caffeine has been overestimated in the past.…”

“…All three presumptive intracellular phenomena associated with pineal c~l-adrenoceptors, i.e. phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis (Smith et aL, 1979), cGMP synthesis (Zatz, 1982) and PGEe release (Ritta and Cardinali, 1982), could be implicated in pineal PDE activation inasmuch as: (i) some products ofphosphatidylinositol metabolism are very effective in stimulating cyclic nucleotide PDE partially purified from bovine brain (Tai and Tai, 1982); (ii) cGMP at low concentrations stimulates rat brain PDE activity (Murakami et aL, 1983); (iii) PGE2, which increases pineal cAMP levels (Ritta and Cardinali, 1981), may augment low-Km PDE activity by a substrate-mediated effect (Oleshansky and Neff, 1975;Minneman and Iversen, 1976 a). Additionally other changes, like modification of affinity of fl-adrenoceptor sites or of coupling of these receptors with adenylate cyclase could be involved (Leblanc and Cianarello, 1984).…”
