When caffeine enters the body, the liver releases enzymes to metabolize it before releasing it into the bloodstream. This can temporarily impair the liver's blood sugar uptake and release functions.
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.
