Data were analyzed between two distinct postnatal ages: 14-28 and 29-56 days. <b><i>Results:</i></b> During the 15-year study, 457 infants were prescribed caffeine. Among the 14-28-day group, after applying exclusion criteria, 418 infants qualified. Two hundred forty-eight infants received 5 mg/(kg·day) and 170 received 10 mg/(kg·day) of CC. Among the 29-56-day group, 362 infants were identified and after applying exclusions, 332 fulfilled entry criteria [214 on 5 mg/(kg·day) and 118 on 10 mg/(kg·day) regimen]. Baseline characteristics of infants were comparable between groups without statistically significant differences. Mean daily weight gain (MDWG) in grams from day 14 to 28 showed a higher rate of increase for the 5 mg/(kg·day) group compared with the 10 mg/(kg·day) group (17.2 ± 12 g vs. 13.0 ± 10.2 g [<i>p</i> = 0.04]). From day 29 to 56, also MDWG was higher among infants on 5 mg/(kg·day) of CC compared with 10 mg/(kg·day) group (15.6 ± 10.8 g vs. 10.2 ± 9.8 g [<i>p</i> = 0.011]). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> While a variety of measures are optimized to promote postnatal weight gain of premature infants close to an ideal intrauterine growth curve, not paying sufficient attention to one of the most widely used catabolic agents in neonatology is questionable and warrants vigilance. Additional nutritional measures could be offered to those with prolonged caffeine exposure.</p>","PeriodicalId":15112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Caffeine and Adenosine Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/caff.2018.0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36520135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mutated hungtingtin, although widely expressed in the brain, predominantly affects striato-pallidal neurons, particularly enriched with adenosine A<sub>2A</sub> receptors (A<sub>2A</sub>R), suggesting a possible involvement of adenosine and A<sub>2A</sub>R is the pathogenesis of HD. In fact, polymorphic variation in the <i>ADORA2A</i> gene influences the age at onset in HD, and A<sub>2A</sub>R dynamics is altered by mutated huntingtin. Basal levels of adenosine and adenosine receptors are involved in many processes critical for neuronal function and homeostasis, including modulation of synaptic activity and excitotoxicity, the control of neurotrophin levels and functions, and the regulation of protein degradation mechanisms. In the present review, we critically analyze the current literature involving the effect of altered adenosine tone and adenosine receptors in HD and discuss why therapeutics that modulate the adenosine system may represent a novel approach for the treatment of HD.</p>","PeriodicalId":15112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Caffeine and Adenosine Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6049521/pdf/caff.2018.0006.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36326617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
