Abstract
Energy drinks and their ingredients were studied at the cellular level. This project continued previous research that was conducted at Saint Mary’s College of California during the summer of 2010. 8 Cellular effects of energy drinks were assessed on two cell types: Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells and rat embryonic fibroblasts. To examine effects of energy drinks on cellular structure and function, cells were treated with Monster Energy and 5-hour Energy. It was discovered that both types of energy drinks negatively impacted cell structure and function in epithelial cells and fibroblasts.
