| Core Tip |
Energy drinks are being consumed worldwide, and are gaining in popularity, especially amongst youth. We studied the acute effects that one energy drink has on endothelial function, a measure of vascular health. We found that consumption of a single 24-oz can of Monster Energy resulted in attenuation of brachial artery endothelium-dependent flow mediated dilatation in 11 healthy volunteers. |
