Why it is unsafe to drink caffeinated drinks before the S phase?
short and precise answer please :) !
Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine ) is used as a neuroactive stimulant. Excessive intake before S phase (G1) may pause/suppress cell proliferation and cell function ,it can cause cell arrest, apoptosis & perturb key regulatory proteins(like p53: tumor suppressor protein ).
p53 mediates cell arrest and apoptosis. Cells expressing wildtype arrest in G1 phase and cells which cannot express p53 express a mutant p53 so arrest in G2 phase.
