Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Although aggression is a common symptom of psychiatric disorders the drugs available to treat it are non-specific and can have unwanted side effects."5.56Screening for drugs to reduce zebrafish aggression identifies caffeine and sildenafil. ( Cleal, M; Gutiérrez, HC; Norton, WHJ; O'Connor, B; Parker, MO; Schoenmacker, G; Tochwin, A; Vacca, I; Vasquez, AA; Winter, MJ; Young, AMJ, 2020)
"This report evaluates the scientific literature on caffeine with respect to potential central nervous system (CNS) effects, specifically effects on sleep, anxiety, and aggression/risk-taking."4.93Neurobehavioral hazard identification and characterization for caffeine. ( Mariano, GF; Rodricks, JV; Turnbull, D, 2016)
" Data regarding current and life use of caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine were recorded as were responses on measures of aggression, anger, and impulsivity."4.12Associations of agression and use of caffeine, alcohol and nicotine in healthy and aggressive individuals. ( Coccaro, EF; Lee, R; Shima, C, 2022)
"To date, the effect of low doses of caffeine on aggression has not been systematically examined."3.70Effects of low doses of caffeine on aggressive behavior of male rats. ( Baltes, JE; Bellinger, ER; Canic, T; Delac, DT; Golston, GA; Hendershot, DM; Nugent, NR; Tokunaga, S; Wilson, JF; Young, BW, 2000)
" In line with this hypothesis, it was found that three functional benzodiazepine antagonists (FG 7142, pentylenetetrazol, caffeine) decreased food intake, lowered aggression and strengthened freezing in lactating mother rats."3.67Behavioural similarities between mother rats and benzodiazepine-treated non-maternal animals. ( Ferreira, A; Hansen, S; Selart, ME, 1985)
"This study investigated the effects of acute and chronic caffeine treatment on behavior in the social interaction, holeboard and home-cage aggression tests and on proconvulsant actions with pentylenetetrazol."3.67Behavioral effects of acute and chronic administration of caffeine in the rat. ( Baldwin, HA; File, SE; Johnston, AL; Wilks, LJ, 1988)
"The methylxanthines caffeine and aminophylline, in daily doses of 100 mg/kg, facilitated shock-induced aggression in the rat."3.66Methylxanthine-facilitated shock-induced aggression in the rat. ( Barchas, J; Eichelman, B; Hackley, P; Orenberg, E, 1978)
"Although aggression is a common symptom of psychiatric disorders the drugs available to treat it are non-specific and can have unwanted side effects."1.56Screening for drugs to reduce zebrafish aggression identifies caffeine and sildenafil. ( Cleal, M; Gutiérrez, HC; Norton, WHJ; O'Connor, B; Parker, MO; Schoenmacker, G; Tochwin, A; Vacca, I; Vasquez, AA; Winter, MJ; Young, AMJ, 2020)
" d-Amphetamine, cocaine, and caffeine each had the effect of elevating both bite and lever press responses; nicotine, chlorpromazine, chlordiazepoxide, and diazepam each elevated lever press responding while depressing bite responding across a portion of the dosage range; phenobarbital, alcohol, and morphine had the effect of depressing both bite and lever press responses but lever pressing was selectively more depressed than biting."1.27Unique influences of ten drugs upon post-shock biting attack and pre-shock manual responding. ( Emley, GS; Hutchinson, RR, 1983)
