Mus musculus (The Common Mouse) on the Weight Gaining Supplement Muscle Milk

CSEF · 2004 Pharmacology/ Toxicology

Joseph A. Policarpio · De La Salle High School, Concord

Overview

Objectives/Goals In this investigation the objective was to determine if Muscle Milk had a significant effect on the weight or running speed of a mouse. Methods/Materials After constructing a cage, the twelve mice were obtained for two months and half were fed Muscle Milk. All mice were given sufficient food and water. All mice's weight, running speed and food and water intake were monitored for a period of eight weeks. Results After the two months, the average weight gained by mice on Muscle Milk (mice #1-6) was 21.8 g, while the average gain by mice off Muscle Milk (mice #7-12) was 15.4 g. The average speed of mice #1-6 (mice on Muscle Milk) was 396.24 mm/sec, while the average speed of mice #7-12 (mice off Muscle Milk) was 679.81 mm/sec. Conclusions/Discussion In conclusion, Muscle Milk caused weight gain but slowed running speed in the mice tested.

Summary statement
