This review discusses epidemiology and laboratory studies on the effects of prenatal methylxanthine administration on some systems developing organisms. They are mainly absorbed from coffee, tea and cocoa products such as cola beverages and chocolate bars. Prenatal methylxanthine exposure can induce several unfavourables changes in the developing organism, which are persistent even in later phases of life. Based on results obtained from animal studies, the effect on embryogenesis is not only poorly understood but also controversial. It is therefore important to study interspecies differences as results may differ depending on animals used and administration methods.
