Resumen
Las bebidas energizantes incluyen combinaciones de electrolitos, cafeína o estimulantes para brindar energía al organismo y ayudar a realizar distintas actividades. Pero su consumo indebido puede traer consecuencia a la salud humana. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto genotóxico y teratogénico in vivo de una bebida energizante de marca comercial. Se emplearon ratones machos y hembras de la línea Árabe los cuales fueron provistos de alimento especial para roedores y la bebida energizante sola y combinada con una bebida alcohólica ad libitum. Se evaluó el efecto citogenotóxico en sangre periférica de los roedores por medio del ensayo de micronúcleos. Transcurrido el tiempo de gestación del ratón hembra, las crías vivas o muertas fueron analizadas morfológicamente. Como control positivo se usó la ifosfamida. Los análisis estadísticos (ANOVA y la prueba de Dunnett p<0.05), permitieron establecer que los tratamientos tenían diferencias significativas tanto en el análisis de la toxicidad y genotoxicidad en células sanguíneas de ratón Árabe. No hubo efectos teratogénicos en las crías de los ratones. En conclusión: los componentes químicos de la bebida energética provocan daño clastogénico y son ligeramente tóxicos en células de sangre periférica del ratón Árabe. La mezcla de la bebida energizante con vodka es clastogenica y citotoxica. El consumo prolongado de vodka mostró efectos genotóxicos y citotóxicos en las células sanguíneas de los ratones.

Abstract
Evaluation of the Cytogenotoxicity and Teratogenicity of an energy drink in peripheral blood of Arabic mouse by the micronucleus test.
Energy drinks include combinations of electrolytes, caffeine or stimulants to provide energy to the body and assist in various activities. But their abuse can bring to human health consequences. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic and teratogenic effect in vivo of an energy drink known commercial brand. Adult male and female Arabic mice were used; they were housed in groups of five and had free access to food, an energy drink, vodka, an energy drink mix with vodka and water ad libitum. Genotoxic effect was evaluated in peripheral blood of rodents using the Micronucleus Test. After the gestation period and birth of mice, living or dead offspring were analyzed morphologically. Ifosfamide was used as a positive control. Statistical analysis (ANOVA and Dunnett’s test p <0.05), allowed to establish that the treatments had significant differences in the toxicity and genotoxicity in Arabic mouse blood cells. In the analysis there was no death or teratogenic morphological and physiological damage in offspring. There were no teratogenic effects in offspring of mice. In conclusion: The chemical components of the energy drink cause clastogenic damage and are slightly toxic to Arabic mouse peripheral blood cells. The mixture of energy drink and vodka is clastogenic and citotoxic. Long-term consumption of vodka showed genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in blood cells of mice.
Key words: Peripheral blood, Arabic mouse, polychromatic cells, normochromatic cells.
