简要总结
This study investigated the acute effect of the consumption of four different kinds of coffee (hot and cold instant coffee, cold espresso and hot filter coffee) with the same caffeine content on salivary gastrin, cortisol and alpha-amylase concentrations, on self-reported gastrointestinal symptoms and on psychometric assessments in healthy individuals.
详细描述
Coffee consumption is very common in Greece. Many of the consumers support that certain types of coffee and especially instant coffee cause gastrointestinal symptoms in healthy individuals. Up to now, few studies have investigated the relationship between coffee consumption, gastrointestinal symptoms and stress in healthy individuals with conflicting results.Coffee consumption is related with increased gastric acid and gastrin secretion, however it does not seem to affect stomach or stomach walls. Stress, which characterizes modern lifestyle, also is found to increase gastric acid and gastrin secretion and seems to be exclusively responsible for gastrointestinal symptoms.

结局指标
主要结局
Salivary gastrin and self-reported gastrointestinal symptoms
时间窗: 4 weeks
The volunteers visited the lab after an 8-hour fasting. Saliva samples were taken at fasting for the determination of fasting salivary gastrin. After the consumption of coffee, saliva samples were taken at 15, 30, 60' for the determination of gastrin. Saliva samples were collected by the method "Salivette". Saliva was carried out by chewing a swab for about 1 minute. Then, the swab was returned to the Salivette and the container was centrifuged and saliva sample was obtained. The samples were stored at - 20 degrees of Celsius. Gastrin was determined by an immunoenzymatic method. In order to record the effects of coffee consumption on gastrointestinal symptoms, the participants completed a visual analogue scale every time saliva samples were collected (time 0', 15', 30', 60', 120', 180'). The visual analogue scale (1 = not at all to 10 = very) included 12 questions about gastrointestinal symptoms.
次要结局
