Stress refers to an organism's response to environmental threats in normal condition to maintain homeostasis in the body. In addition, strong inflammatory reactions induced by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis under stress condition during a long time. Reciprocally, chronic stress can induce the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) which is a well-known gut disorder thereby play an important role in the promotion and pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric diseases.

The physiological structure and functioning of the brain are determined by activity-dependent processes and affected by "synapse plasticity." Because chemical transmitters target and regulate synapses, exogenous chemical stimulants and transmitters can alter their physiological functions by interacting with synaptic surface receptors or chemical modulators. Caffeine, a commonly used pharmacologic substance, can target and alter synapses.

This chapter explores the complex relationship between coffee drinking and stress management, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of this widely consumed beverage. The chapter explores the physiological, psychological, and social effects of coffee on stress response and resilience through a thorough analysis of recent studies. It highlights the negative consequences of excessive intake on cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and mental health while also discussing how moderate coffee consumption may lower stress levels, improve coping skills, and promote relaxation.

For decades, coffee has held the distinction of being the most commercially prominent food product and the most universally consumed beverage worldwide. Since the inauguration of the inaugural coffee house in Mecca toward the conclusion of the 15th century, coffee consumption has experienced exponential growth across the globe. Coffee, renowned globally as a beloved beverage, contains a diverse array of compounds known to benefit health.

Rationale: Using routine synthetic drugs in the treatment of psychiatric disorders may have some restrictions due to serious side effects and pharmacoresistance. Some natural agents may be promising alternatives in this case. The neuroprotective activity of the neuromodulator adenosine and its receptor, A receptor (AR) in the central nervous system has been mentioned in different studies.

Stroke is a serious cerebrovascular disease that causes post-stress depression and death. Stress and inflammation have pivotal roles in the induction of the disease. Several drugs and agents have been used for the treatment of disease, but their uses are faced with limitations owing to their side effects.

Controversial studies indicate the adenosine compound (a neuromodulator with neuroprotective activity) intervention on cognitive performance. On the other hand, Japanese sake yeast has been enriched with oral adenosine analogs as a novel natural agent. As the first report, we aimed to evaluate the effects of Japanese sake yeast supplement in a mouse model of chronic restraint stress-induced cognitive dysfunction.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigated the effects of Japanese sake yeast on Alzheimer-type dementia in rats, focusing on behavioral and biochemical changes associated with the condition.
  • - Results indicated that Alzheimer rats exhibited increased anxiety, depression, and inflammatory markers, along with decreased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels.
  • - Administration of sake at higher doses significantly reduced anxiety and depression behaviors and improved BDNF levels, suggesting potential neuroprotective effects that warrant further investigation into its mechanisms.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Nasrollah Moradikor"

  • - Nasrollah Moradikor's recent research primarily focuses on the neuroprotective effects and health benefits of natural compounds, particularly from coffee and Japanese sake yeast, exploring their roles in neural plasticity, stress management, and anxiety-related conditions.
  • - His studies indicate that bioactive compounds in coffee can positively influence synaptic function and stress responses, while also highlighting potential adverse effects of excessive consumption on mental and cardiovascular health.
  • - Additionally, Moradikor's work on Japanese sake yeast demonstrates its protective effects against chronic stress-induced cognitive impairments and anxiogenic behaviors, suggesting the activation of central adenosine receptors as a therapeutic target in psychiatric disorders.
