Caffeine’s psychostimulant effects are brought about by its nonselective and competitive antagonism of adenosineA1andA2Areceptors [11]. Adenosine is widely distributed in the body and brain and is thought to play a role in homeostatic sleep–wake regulation [4,12]. In the Central Nervous System...
Bitter taste-sensing type 2 receptors (TAS2Rs or T2Rs), belonging to the subgroup of family A G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), are of crucial importance in the perception of bitterness. Although in the first instance, TAS2Rs were considered to be exclusively distributed in the apical micro...
