Caffeine has numerous short-and long-term effects on the body, including effects on the liver. Caffeine affects the blood sugar function of the liver, and it may help prevent diabetes or diabetes symptoms. Whether or not caffeine can help prevent liver disease is still a subject of much study.
Most of the caffeine you ingest is metabolized by a CYP450 liver enzyme called âCYP1A2.â This means that the body uses CYP1A2 to âdemethylateâ caffeine molecules, transforming them into other substances, chiefly paraxanthine, which are ultimately excreted in the urine.hen caffeine and another drug are each metabolized by CYP1A2, they compete for the enzyme. As a result, each is said to partially block the âenzymatic metabolismâ of the other, and the speed with which they are excreted from the body decreases.
