SCOPE:

Intervention studies provide evidence that long-term coffee consumption correlates with reduced DNA background damage in healthy volunteers. We here report on short-term kinetics of this effect, showing a rapid onset after normal coffee intake.

METHODS AND RESULTS:

In a short-term human intervention study, we determined the effects of coffee intake on DNA integrity during 8 hours. Healthy male subjects ingested coffee in 200 ml aliquots every second hour up to a total volume of 800 ml. Blood samples were taken at baseline, immediately before the first coffee intake and subsequently every two hours, prior to the respective coffee intake. DNA integrity was assayed by the comet assay. The results show a significant (p<0.05) reduction of background DNA strand breaks already 2 h after the first coffee intake. Continued coffee intake was associated with further decrements in background DNA damage within the 8h intervention (p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively). Mean tail intensities (TI%) decreased from 0.33 TI% (baseline, 0 h) to 0.22 TI% (within 8 h coffee consumption).

CONCLUSION:

Repeated coffee consumption was associated with reduced background DNA strand breakage, clearly measurable as early as two hours after first intake resulting in a cumulative overall reduction by about one third of the baseline value. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Är den tillräckligt välgjord för att utröna ifall koffeinfritt skulle kunna tänka sig ge samma effekt?

Står det inget om vad jag kunde se. Studiedesignen tillåter väl egentligen bara spekulationer kring detta men det finns inte heller med.

Läste bara igenom det hela lite snabbt och det är utanför kunskapsområde, men kontentan var väl den att flertalet tidigare studier, bl.a. en RCT-studie gjorda av författarna, visat på en hel del positiva effekter långsiktigt medan man inte visste hur det låg till kortsiktigt. Efter första mätningen upptäckte man DNA-skador, dessa avtog dock rejält efter 2h då jag fick det till att någon form av skydd byggdes upp.

Men som sagt, inte mitt område detta.
