Abstract
⺠Caffeine influences haemoglobin, band 3 protein, caspase 3 and glucose metabolism. ⺠Caffeine promotes R-state of haemoglobin, enhancing the pentose phosphate pathway. ⺠Caffeine increases the anion exchange and met-haemoglobin production. ⺠Caffeine damaging effect is balanced by scavenger action towards the hydroxyl radical. ⺠Caffeine prevents caspase 3 activation, promoting cellular reducing power.
