The effect of short‐term caffeine withdrawal on lymphocyte beta‐adrenoceptor sensitivity was studied in seven men who had been drinking coffee daily for at least 3 mo before the study. The ratio of cyclic adenosine monophosphate production after in vitro incubation with isoproterenol and a blank was used to assess receptor sensitivity. There was a reduction in sensitivity to isoproterenol but not to prostaglandin E 1 3 days after caffeine withdrawal. The mechanism of this effect is not clear, but may represent a biochemical correlate of caffeine‐withdrawal syndrome Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (1981) 30, 436–438; doi: 10.1038/clpt.1981.185
