Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the serum serotonin, prolactin, and plasma dopamine levels in humans with and without caffeine ingestion during and after passive heat loading (half immersion in 42°C hot water). Thirty male volunteers participated in the randomized experiment (control group, n= 15 vs. caffeine ingestion group, n= 15, 3 mg/kg). After 60 min, passive heat loading was conducted for 30 min. Blood samples were collected and assessed for serum serotonin, dopamine and prolactin with and without caffeine during and after passive heat loading. Serum serotonin was significantly lower in the caffeine ingestion group compared to the control group after passive heat loading for 30 min (Post) (P< 0.05) and also after 60 min of resting (P< 0.01). Dopamine and prolactin were significantly higher in the caffeine ingestion group than in the control group at the Post time point (P< 0.001). In conclusion, 3-mg/kg caffeine ingestion prior to passive heat loading can alter central serotonergic and dopaminergic activity, which may contribute to reduced central fatigue and subsequently, to reduced general fatigue. Prolactin responses during passive heat loading were also significantly related to caffeine ingestion in this study. However, the inhibitory effects of dopamine on prolactin by caffeine remain to be elucidated.
