Figure 8 The main targets and changes induced by caffeine acting on cytokines and their effects. Examples of mediated targets are A1R, A2R, ryanodine receptor and concanavalin A. Caffeine induces a decline in cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-10, IL-4, IL-2, interferon-γ and exerts a differential effect. RyR: Ryanodine receptor; ConA: Concanavalin A; TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha; IL: Interleukin; IFN: Interferon.
