  1. Values are given as mean (±SD). Independent samples t-tests were applied to time-corrected paraxanthine/caffeine ratios transformed by square root to approximate a normal distribution. Statistical data reported assumed equal variances. P-values reflected a 2-tailed test. Results are reported to 3 decimal places
