When you handle fasted mice suddenly, their bodies panic and burn sugar too fast in their muscles, causing a big spike in two chemicals (lactate and pyruvate) in their blood—this messes up science tests that measure metabolism using a tail blood sample.

Impact of acute stress on murine metabolomics and metabolic flux
Cohort Study
Animal
2023 May 23When scientists quickly grab and cut the tail of a hungry mouse to take blood, the mouse gets scared, which makes its muscles produce a lot of lactate and pyruvate — so much that it messes up the blood test results. This study proved exactly that.
