According to what was published by the “Science Alert” website, levels can affect… Caffeine In the blood on quantity Fat carried by the body, a factor that can in turn determine the risk of developing a disease Diabetes Type 2 and cardiovascular disease.
A 2023 study used genetic markers to establish a more specific link between caffeine levels, body mass index, and risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The research team, from the Karolinska Institutet in SwedenAnd the University of Bristol UKandImperial College London In the UK, zero-calorie caffeinated drinks are being explored as a potential way to help reduce body fat levels.
“Higher caffeine concentrations in… Plasma “Which genetics predicted lower BMI and whole-body fat mass.”
Furthermore, higher plasma caffeine concentrations predicted by genes were associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Nearly half of the effect of caffeine on susceptibility to type 2 diabetes has been estimated through a reduction in BMI.
While there was a significant association between caffeine levels, body mass index, and risk of developing type 2 diabetes, no relationship was shown between the amount of caffeine in the blood andHeart disease And blood vessels, including atrial fibrillation, heart failure and stroke.
According to the source, we must keep in mind that the effects of caffeine on the body are not all positive, which means that caution must be taken when evaluating the benefits of drinking it – but this latest study is an important step in evaluating the ideal amount of caffeine.
“Small, short-term trials have shown that caffeine intake leads to a reduction in weight and fat mass, but the long-term effects of caffeine intake are unknown,” the researchers explained.
The team believes the association shown here may be due to the way caffeine increases thermogenesis (the production of heat) and fat oxidation (the conversion of fat into energy) in the body, both of which play an important role in Metabolism General.
