Chronic Consumption of a Commercial Energy Drink Reduces Blood Pressure in Normotensive Wild-Type Mice.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Studies report that acute consumption of energy drinks transiently increases blood pressure (BP). However, few studies report the effect of chronic energy drink consumption on BP. In this study, we investigated the effects of long-term energy drink ingestion on BP in C57BL/6J normotensive wild-type mice. Research Methods and Procedures: Groups of mice were randomized to no treatment (water) (Control group), or to Mother^™ provided as a decarbonated 30% (v/v) drinking solution (Energy Drink group), sugar-free Mother^™ at 30% (Sugar-free group), Coca Cola^™ at 30% (Coke group) for a total intervention period of 13 weeks. Results: After 13 weeks of intervention, the control mice showed a modest increase in systolic blood pressure (
