No full textSerum antioxidant capacity and hydroperoxide level of seven healthy subjects after consumption of different foods
Full text linkThis article reports experimental data related to the research article entitled “Different effectiveness of two pastas supplemented with either lipophilic or hydrophilic/phenolic antioxidants in affecting serum as evaluated by the novel Antioxidant/Oxidant Balance approach” (M.N. Laus, M. Soccio, M. Alfarano, A. Pasqualone, M.S. Lenucci, G. Di Miceli, D. Pastore, 2016) [1]. Antioxidant status of blood serum of seven healthy subjects was evaluated during four hours after consumption of two functional pastas, supplemented with either bran oleoresin or bran water extract obtained from durum wheat. For comparison, the effect of a non-supplemented reference pasta was also evaluated, as well as the effects of glucose, of the wheat grain dietary supplement Lisosan G, and of the reference pasta consumed together with Lisosan G. Serum antioxidant status was evaluated by measuring both the serum antioxidant capacity, using LOX-FL, ORAC and TEAC methods, and the serum oxidant status, assessed as peroxide level

Cannabis and the brain: current research into potential medical applications.
No full text"Cannabis" is found in various plants, which contain two molecules of interest: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). These molecules can produce either "body highs" or "mind highs". Current research is trying to understand how these molecules act on the brain, in the hope to develop new medicines to treat patients for which current clinical treatments fall short. Here, the origin of "cannabis" will be explored, along data on recreational or medicinal/medical use in different countries. Furthermore, we will also explore how THC and/or CBD could be useful to treat some patients
Diversity in the United Kingdom: Quantification for higher education in comparison to the general population
Full text linkDiversity in the United Kingdom is regularly quantified through Census data. The latest figures (2021) for England and Wales indicate that 82% of the population identifies as white, 51% are females, 17.7%–22.3% are disabled, 18.2% hold no qualifications and 51.7% of households are deprived in at least one dimension. Furthermore, the me-dian age in England and Wales is 40. All of these figures vary significantly across local geographical areas. Diversity in Higher Education (HE) is also monitored yearly by the Office for Students. The latest figures (2020/2021) indi-cate that 68.4% of entrants are under 21 years old, 56.5% are females, 14.8% report a disability and 21.8% are cat-egorized as severely deprived. Some differences were observed between these figures and those from previous years. The current study aims to highlight how diversity in HE has evolved since 2010 and how the current landscape can illustrate significant differences between courses. Furthermore, comparisons with the general population are also measured in an attempt to describe potential bias in HE, together with new avenues that should be explored to level the HE field in regard to diversity. Our results indicate that access to HE needs to be improved for males, while strong discrepancies were observed between disciplines. Ethnic diversity remains high throughout the HE sector, although subject-specific biases were noted. An increase in students from the most deprived areas has been found, although it was not the case for all subjects within the sec-tor. Finally, reported disabilities are on the rise, especially regarding mental health, warranting additional support for affected students. These findings are discussed and put into context. To conclude, HE providers might need to col-legially address subject-specific discrepancies
