Agric Food Chem. 2009 Jan 5. Rufián-Henares JA, de la Cueva SP. Departamento de Nutricion y Bromatologia, Facultad de Farmacia, Universidad de Granada, 18012 Granada, Spain. Melanoidins comprise a substantial proportion of severely heat-treated foods such as baked cereals or roasted coffee and are widely consumed dietary components. The antimicrobial activity of coffee melanoidins against different pathogenic bacteria has been studied, finding that such activity is due to their metal-chelating properties. Three different mechanisms have been observed: at low concentrations melanoidins exerted a bacteriostatic activity mediated by iron chelation from the culture medium; in the case of bacterial strains that are able to produce siderophores for iron acquisition, melanoidins chelate the siderophore-Fe(3+) complex, which could decrease the virulence of such pathogenic bacteria; and, finally, coffee melanoidins also exerted a bactericide activity at high concentrations by removing Mg(2+) cations from the outer membrane, promoting the disruption of the cell membrane and allowing the release of intracellular molecules.

But new research from Vanderbilt finds that these individuals--labeled as novelty seekers by psychologists--face an uphill battle in keeping their New Year's resolutions due to the way their brains process dopamine. The research reveals that novelty seekers have less of a particular type of dopamine receptor, which may lead them to seek out novel and exciting experiences--such as spending lavishly, taking risks and partying like there's no tomorrow. The research was published Dec. 31, 2008, in the Journal of Neuroscience. The neurotransmitter dopamine is produced by a select group of cells in the brain. These dopamine-producing cells have receptors called autoreceptors that help limit dopamine release when these cells are stimulated. "We've found that the density of these dopamine autoreceptors is inversely related to an individual's interest in and desire for novel experiences," David Zald, associate professor of psychology and lead author of the study, said. "The fewer available dopamine autoreceptors an individual has, the less they are able to regulate how much dopamine is released when these cells are engaged. Because of this, novelty and other potentially rewarding experiences that normally induce dopamine release will produce greater dopamine release in these individuals." Dopamine has long been known to play an important role in how we experience rewards from a variety of natural sources, including food and sex, as well as from drugs such as cocaine and amphetamine. Previous research has shown that individuals differ in both their number of dopamine receptors and the amount of dopamine they produce, and that these differences may play a critical role in addiction. Zald and his colleagues set out to explore the connection between dopamine receptors and the novelty-seeking personality trait. "Novelty-seeking personality traits are a major risk factor for the development of drug abuse and other unsafe behaviors," Zald and his colleagues wrote. "Our research suggests that in high novelty-seeking individuals, the brain is less able to regulate dopamine, and this may lead these individuals to be particularly responsive to novel and rewarding situations that normally induce dopamine release," Zald said. Previous research in rodents showed that some respond differently to novel environments. Those who explore novel environments more are also more likely to self-administer cocaine when given the chance. Dopamine neurons fire at a higher rate in these novelty-responsive rodents, and the animals also have weak autoreceptor control of their dopamine neurons. Zald and colleagues speculated that the same relationships would be seen in humans. The researchers used positron emission topography to view the levels of dopamine receptors in 34 healthy humans who had taken a questionnaire that measured the novelty-seeking personality trait. The questionnaire measured things such as an individual's preference for and response to novelty, decision-making speed, a person's readiness to freely spend money, and the extent to which a person is spontaneous and unconstrained by rules and regulations. The higher the score, the more likely the person was to be a novelty seeker. The researchers found that those that scored higher on the novelty- seeking scale had decreased dopamine autoreceptor availability compared to the subjects that scored lower. ### The National Institute of Drug Abuse funded the research. Zald is a Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Research on Human Development investigator and is a member of the Vanderbilt Center for Integrative and Cognitive Neuroscience. His Vanderbilt co-authors were Ronald Cowan, Ronald Baldwin, M. Sib Ansari, Rui Li, Evan Shelby, Clarence Smith, Maureen McHugo and Robert Kessler from the departments of Psychology, Psychiatry and Radiological Sciences.

There have been no known intense medical studies to confirm this, but parents who have hyperactive children have noticed the benefits on them. the effectiveness of coffee in calming ADHD children has become great discussion among Web sites and forums. Children with ADHD are usually given drugs like Ritalin and Strattera that increases dopamine levels in the body. Higher levels tend to calm and help overactive minds focus. Coffee can also increase dopamine without the risks associated with [prescriptions. The only side effect coffee has may be a headache from withdrawal. but they should also avoid sweetening their coffee because sugar aggravates the symptoms of ADHD. Dozens of studies have been done and more continue to seek the health benefits of coffee consumption. One study has shown how coffee has antioxidant benefits for those who drink more than two cups daily. One study shows benefits of increased short term memory. Finally, several have shown a decreased risk for diabetes and liver and breast cancer. Who loves ya.

Emanuele E, Brondino N, Re S, Bertona M, Geroldi D Physiol Behav 2008 Oct 8. In the ultimatum game (UG), two players are involved to bargain over a division of a given sum of money. The proposer makes an ultimatum offer of a fraction of money, while the responder can either accept or reject the proposer's decision. In case of rejection of the proposed splitting by the responder, neither player gets anything. Adverse psychological reactions are deemed to play a role in the rejection of unfair offers. Low serum levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have been linked to impulse control and hostility. This study examined the serum omega-3 and omega-6 fractions in relation to the ultimatum bargaining behavior. Participants were sixty economy students (31 males and 29 females, mean age: 24.4+/-2.3 years) who played a euro10 ultimatum game. Ultimatum offers were constrained to be euro5 (proposer keeps euro5) or euro1 (proposer keeps euro9) to generate a roughly even split between fair (5:5) and unfair (1:9) offers. Fasting serum alpha-linolenic (ALA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA) were assayed with gas chromatography. In participants who rejected unfair offers there was a significant depletion of ALA, EPA and DHA. Moreover, the ratio of serum omega-3/omega-6 fatty acids was significantly lower in patients who rejected unfair offers as compared to those who did not. The results of this study suggest that a depletion of the serum omega-3 fatty acids is associated with rejections of unfair ultimatum offers in an experimental neuroeconomic setting.

Dietary patterns and blood fatty acid composition in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in Taiwan. Chen JR, Hsu SF, Hsu CD, Hwang LH, Yang SC. Department of Nutrition and Health Sciences, Taipei Medical University, Taipei 110, Taiwan. Nutritional factors may be relative to attention-deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), although the pathogenic mechanism is still unknown. Based on the work of others, we hypothesized that children with ADHD have altered dietary patterns and fatty acid metabolism. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate dietary patterns and the blood fatty acid composition in children with ADHD in the Taipei area of Taiwan. The present study found that 58 subjects with ADHD (average age 8.5 years) had significantly higher intakes of iron and vitamin C compared to those of 52 control subjects (average age 7.9 years) (P < 0.05). The blood total protein content in subjects with ADHD was significantly lower than that in control subjects (P < 0.05). On the other hand, children with ADHD had significantly higher blood iron levels compared to the control children (P < 0.05). Additionally, plasma gamma-linolenic acid (18:3 n-6) in children with ADHD was higher than that in control children (P < 0.05). Concerning the composition of other fatty acids in the phospholipid isolated from red blood cell (RBC) membranes, oleic acid (18:1n-9) was significantly higher, whereas nervonic acid (24:1n-9), linoleic acid (18:2n-6), arachidonic acid (20:4n-6), and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) were significantly lower in subjects with ADHD (P < 0.05). Our results suggest that there were no differences in dietary patterns of these children with ADHD except for the intake of iron and vitamin C; however, the fatty acid composition of phospholipid from RBC membranes in the ADHD children differed from that of the normal children.

Dyskinesia can occur alongside motor fluctuations (also known as "off times"), random periods throughout the day in which Levodopa (L-Dopa) is rendered ineffective for unknown reasons. According to chief researcher Olivier Rascol of the University Hospital in Toulouse, France, Rasigiline was tested as an adjuvant in comparative tests against another drug in the same drug category, Entacapone, and a placebo. Rasigiline was found to be as effective as Entacapone is reducing the amount of "off time" by an average of 1.2 hours. It was well tolerated by the PD patients in the study and was taken only once daily. Rasigiline (a new MAO B inhibitor) is used alongside Levodopa. When Levodopa fails to work, usually the dosages are reduced but given at smaller intervals throughout the day. That requires a very vigilant drug delivery program which requires constant patients management. Rasigiline has completed Phase III clinical trials and is seeking FDA approval.

Coffee and Depression: Coffee as an Antidepressant? When you grab that morning cup of java, you're probably not thinking of it as an antidepressant. You're just trying to get that morning pick me up to get your day going. However, recent studies have shown that java really does function as an antidepressant, raising the spirits of people who regularly drink the stuff. It acts on the central nervous system and has mild antidepressant effects. Coffee and depression studies have found that drinking coffee reduced the rate of suicide in the large demographic populations observed. The first coffee and depression study that raised the topic of java as an antidepressant was done in 1993. In this study, a Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program study of 128,934 nurses found that java drinkers were significantly less likely to commit suicide than nondrinkers. This Nurse's Health Study on coffee and depression did not go so far as to establish a causal relationship between java drinking and the drop in the suicide rate. The study stated that it could be that the coffee itself had little to do with it, but that people who drink coffee share other characteristics that make them less likely to commit suicide. A second study on coffee and depression, however, confirmed these controversial findings and went farther as to state that it was the coffee that dropped the suicide rate. This study was especially noteworthy, as it was large-scale and adjusted for a wide range of other factors. Published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in 1996, the study followed more than 86,000 registered nurses in the United States between 34 and 59 years of age for ten years. Dr. Ichiro Kawachi, an epidemiologist at Harvard Medical School who led this study, looked at the data from the Kaiser Permanente study hoping to discount their findings. Instead of what he expected to find, he confirmed the original study's results with his own: using coffee as an antidepressant reduced the suicide rate in these nurses. Dr. Kawachi discovered that the nurses he studied who drank two to three cups of coffee a day were one-third less likely to commit suicide as those who didn't drink any. The nurses who drank more than four cups a day were 58% less likely to commit suicide than their colleagues who drank less. The coffee and depression study of female nurses found eleven suicides among those who drank two to three cups of caffeinated coffee per day, compared with twenty-one cases of suicide among those who said they almost never drank coffee. However, Dr. Kawachi and others aren't ready yet to use coffee as an antidepressant for clinical depression. At the minimum, Dr. Kawachi says that his study shows that drinking lots of coffee can't be bad for your health. Psychiatrists point out that people must understand that depression isn't simply a state of mind; it is a very serious medical issue that cannot be resolved simply by drinking coffee. And cardiologists, while they recommend to their patients with heart and other health problems to steer clear of caffeine, know that it's not good for a patient's mental health to do so immediately in a cold turkey manner. Instead, they recommend bringing down the coffee consumption gradually in order to avoid a severe state of depression due to the drop in caffeine and other antidepressants in coffee. Whether it is the caffeine or something else, coffee does seem to have at least a mild antidepressant effect. The caffeine in coffee may have mood-elevating actions through effects on neurotransmitters such as dopamine and acetylcholine. It is also possible that coffee drinking has social effects, such as increasing personal contacts and time spent socializing, that might reduce thoughts of suicide.

Nutritional Benefits of Choline Chloride By John Gibb Choline is necessary for brain function, for the synthesis of neurotransmitters and to build and maintain brain cell membrane (acetylcholine). Acetylcholine is important for sleep, for memory, and for thinking. It also works in movement control. Choline chloride is found in concentrations in the tissues of the nervous system. Choline decreases with age as signified by memory loss, reduced learning ability, and reduced learning ability. There is also reduced general cognitive functioning. It works in the process of methylation. Benefits of Choline Chlloride Choline may be helpful in reducing sleep problems. The stimulation barrier of the brain is increased. It helps the brain to filter out minor noises.The ability to problem solve and concentrate may also improve with choline. Heres one for all coffee drinkers! Coffee may actually raise the level of acetylcholine. Choline also helps maintain moist mucous membranes, especially in post- menopausal women. It works best if it is taken with folic acid. The greater amount of folic acid reduces choline and the lesser amount of choline that is used for methylation, allows choline to be used by the nervous system. Choline works with Inositol to emulsify fats, meaning keeping fats in liquid form. If fats are emulsified then it is less likely they will be deposited on the walls of the arteries, or in the gall bladder. Phosphatidyl choline transports fats to cells for energy. It also helps to transports fats so they can either be used by the body, or excreted. Another concern is fetal development. Choline choloride taking during pregnancy may increase the life-long ability of the infant to learn, pay attention and have greater memory. Could choline work for ADHD children? A choline deficient diet may result in increased rates of cancer such as liver carcenoma. Choline maybe helpful in treating the following conditions - liver disease, high cholesterol, depression, memory loss, Alzheimers, and asthma - it has an anti-inflammatory effect. Those who do strenuous exercise may drastically reduce their levels of choline. The probable reason for this is the need for choline to metabolize fat. This need increases during exercise.
