Provide a general description of the methods as reported by the authors. Information should be extracted based on relevance to the SR (i.e., caffeine related methods) Twelve healthy volunteers were randomized using a double-blind, cross-over design to take either 200 mg caffeine (C-replete) or placebo (C-naïve) twice daily for 1 week. On the morning of a study, subjects were admitted at 09.00 h, having fasted overnight. At this time, subjects completed a questionnaire scoring the strength of 32 symptoms relating to caffeine-withdrawal rated on a scale of 0–3. Following baseline measurements being made, the responses to 200 mg caffeine (blood-pressure, middle cerebral artery velocity, mood and cognitive performance) were examined over the subsequent 120 min. Blood glucose was not allowed to fall below 4.0 mmol l-1. Mood using the UWIST mood score [23] consisting of 24 adjectives divided into three equal groups describing hedonic (pleasurable), tense and energetic mood: maximum score for each aspect is 32 each item is scored 1–4.

Provide a general description of results (as reported by the authors). Caffeine withdrawal questionnaires showed no difference in total scores after caffeine abstinence or supplementation for 7 days (26.9±2.5 C-naïve vs 27.8 ± 2.3 C-replete, P = 0.34).Tense mood was most affected by caffeine status (Figure 3). Baseline measurements were significantly different (11.6±0.6 C-naïve vs 16.3 ± 1.6 C-replete, P<0.01). Caffeine consumption in the C-replete state was associated with a greater decrease in tense mood (-1.1 [-2.6, -0.34] C-naïve vs -4.7 [-7.5, -1.9] C-replete, P < 0.02).

What were the author's conclusions? Interestingly daily caffeine consumption was associated with an increase in tense mood, which resolved after further caffeine consumption. It was only this aspect of mood that was associated with a significantly different response to the caffeine challenge between the two conditions.

List all the endpoint(s) followed by the dose (mg) which will be used in comparison to Nawrot.  Characterize value as LOAEL/NOAEL, etc. if possible.  tense mood: NOAEL = 200 mg

Notes regarding selection/listing of endpoints and exposures/doses to be compared to Nawrot. Single dose no effect observed below Nawrot (400 mg). In fact, 200 mg caffeine reduced tense mood in subjects who had been taking caffeine daily, prior to the experiment though their baseline anxiety before receiving the dose was higher than those subjects who were completely withdrawn.
