Conditions

No diseases are investigated directly. We are looking for substances that are suitable as saliva markers for gastrointestinal transit processes and comparing them with the established marker caffeine.

Interventions

Group 1: 1 coated tablet containing 25 mg caffeine and 100 mg methylliberin with 240 mL water after ingestion of a high-calorie (1000 kcal) FDA breakfast, independent saliva sample collection at the t

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Determination of the saliva concentration of the applied substances (caffeine, methyl liberin) or their metabolites over time using a validated LC-MS method

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Pharmacokinetic parameters tmax, cmax, AUC, time of appearance of the analytes (tapp), elimination half-life (t1/2)
