Abstract

Objective: Energy drinks are becoming more popular every year, particularly among young adults such as college students, despite evidence that they have harmful health effects. The effect of energy drink consumption on plasma glucose, serum apolipoproteins, and triglyceride levels in students was investigated.

Methods: In order to test this, we chose two representative types of energy drinks in Nigeria, namely fearless and predator. These energy drinks are brand names of non-alcoholic beverages aimed to provide energy. 30 students, apparently healthy male human subjects aged 18 to 30 years who gave informed consent to the research work were randomly selected and divided into two groups: Group A (fearless energy drink consumers, n=15) and Group B (predator energy drink consumers, n=15).   RESULTS: The results demonstrated significant reductions in pulse rate (86.00±41.32 vs. 78.87±27.72; p=0.03) and BMI (21.41±1.93 vs. 21.7±12.02; p=0.00) as compared to baseline values after one month of "fearless energy drink" consumption. Plasma glucose levels were significantly higher (97.53±10.62 vs. 88.80±11.33; p=0.01) and Apo B levels were significantly lower (21.41±1.93 vs. 21.71±2.02; p=0.00) following two weeks of fearless energy drink consumption than in baseline. In addition, BMI and Apo B levels were significantly lower after two weeks of predator energy drink consumption, but plasma glucose levels were significantly higher after two weeks and one month of predator energy drink consumption, respectively (p<0.05). SBP, DBP, TG and Apo A levels did not differ significantly in both fearless and predator energy drink consumers at baseline and after the study period respectively (p>0.05).

Conclusion: This study has shown that the consumption of energy drinks causes significant alterations in BMI, pulse rate, plasma glucose and apolipoprotein B levels which may have important clinical consequences for energy drink consumers.

短期饮用能量饮料会影响学生的血糖、载脂蛋白B、体质指数和脉搏率。
目标:尽管有证据表明能量饮料对健康有害,但能量饮料每年都变得越来越受欢迎,尤其是在大学生等年轻人中。研究了能量饮料对学生血浆葡萄糖、血清载脂蛋白和甘油三酯水平的影响。方法:为了验证这一点,我们选择了尼日利亚两种具有代表性的能量饮料,即fearless和predator。这些能量饮料是旨在提供能量的非酒精饮料的品牌名称。随机选择30名18至30岁的健康男性受试者,并知情同意进行研究工作,并将其分为两组:A组(无所畏惧的能量饮料消费者,n=15)和B组(食肉性能量饮料消费者,n=15)。结果:患者脉搏率明显降低(86.00±41.32 vs. 78.87±27.72;p=0.03)和BMI(21.41±1.93∶21.7±12.02;P =0.00),与饮用“无所畏惧的能量饮料”一个月后的基线值相比。血糖水平显著升高(97.53±10.62 vs. 88.80±11.33;p=0.01),载脂蛋白B水平显著降低(21.41±1.93∶21.71±2.02;P =0.00)。此外,食用食肉动物能量饮料两周后,体重指数和载脂蛋白B水平显著降低,而血浆葡萄糖水平在食用食肉动物能量饮料两周和一个月后分别显著升高(p0.05)。结论:本研究表明,饮用能量饮料会导致BMI、脉搏、血糖和载脂蛋白B水平的显著改变,这可能对能量饮料消费者产生重要的临床影响。
