Researchers in the United States have found that caffeine can prevent mice from developing multiple sclerosis similar to that in humans, a discovery that will help develop new ways to combat multiple sclerosis.

Jeffrey Mills of Cornell University and others found that mice that consumed a certain amount of caffeine a day (equivalent to six to eight cups of coffee a day) were less likely to develop experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. This may be the result of caffeine preventing immune cells from entering the mouse central nervous system.

Previous studies have shown that adenosine plays an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis and may be responsible for helping immune cells enter the central nervous system. Adenosine exists widely in the human body and plays an important role in biochemistry, such as transferring energy, promoting sleep and so on. Adenosine needs to bind to adenosine receptors to affect the central nervous system, and caffeine stimulates the central nervous system largely because it binds to adenosine receptors, the researchers said in a statement. so caffeine can be used to prevent adenosine from working.
