The Role of Adenosine Receptors and Genetic Variation in Caffeine Tolerance
07:37 - 15:33 (07:55)
The relationship between adenosine and adenosine receptors, as well as genetic variations, make it hard to determine if and when one should consume caffeine. However, some individuals with a mutant form of the adenosine receptor can drink caffeine late in the evening and still fall asleep easily.
