Abstract : Ross Cooney, eighteen-year-old Irish athlete, was died as a result of playing a basketball game after consuming four cans of red bull in 2000. France, Denmark and Norway have banned red bull. Britain issued a warning against red bull use by pregnant women and children in 2001. Therefore, the present study investigated the effects of six different types of energy drinks (Red Bull, Power Horse, Bison, Bugzy, Boom Boom and Code Red) on some biochemical parameters in liver, kidney and heart. Also estimate the level of sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphate and glucose in the serum. One hundred forty seven male Wister rats were divided into seven groups each group 21 rats. The first group is a control drinking water. The other six groups have gavage them with energy drinks by mouth daily (1.8 ml/250g/day) for 30 days. Seven rats from each group were decapitation at 10, 20, 30 days. The blood samples were collected from all groups usually before decapitation them to determined liver, kidney and heart functions. The results of liver function showed a significant decrease of alanine aminotransferase by Bison, Bugzy, Boom Boom and Code Red groups. All energy drinking groups showed a significant decrease in the concentration of lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase except in Red Bull group and alkaline phosphatase except in Bison group. The results of kidney function showed a significant decrease in urea level only by Power Horse and Bugzy. Phosphate level showed a significant increase by Red Bull and significant decrease by Power Horse. Only Bison revealed a significant increase in calcium concentration. The results of heart function showed that creatine kinase decreased significantly by all energy drinking groups except Red Bull and Bugzy. All energy drinking groups showed a significant decrease in the creatine kinase-MB except in Bugzy group. In the serum, the result of glucose showed a significant increase in all energy drinking groups. As a conclusion, energy drinks may cause a disorder in liver, kidney and heart which effect the production of their enzymes.
