Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigates how caffeine intake affects blood stem and progenitor cells in healthy adults.

The trial will compare people who regularly consume caffeine with those who consume very little or none. All participants will receive a single 200 mg caffeine tablet (similar to one cup of coffee) under fasting conditions. Blood samples will be collected before and three hours after caffeine intake.

The study will assess whether caffeine influences the mobilization of blood stem and progenitor cells from the bone marrow into the bloodstream. It will also examine the effects of caffeine on the function, gene activity, and metabolism of blood cells.

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

This is a single-group, open-label study in which all participants receive a single oral dose of 200 mg caffeine under fasting conditions. Blood samples are collected before and three hours after caffeine intake to assess mobilization, function, gene expression, and metabolic profile of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.
