Objective: To examine preseason Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5 (SCAT5) performance of adolescent sport participants by environment (in-person/virtual), sex, age, concussion history, collision/noncollision sport participation, and self-reported medical diagnoses.
Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: Canadian community and high-school sport settings.
Background: People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at increased risk for depression. Both conditions are associated with disturbances in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can be converted into bioactive epoxides by cytochrome P450s (CYP450), which play pro-resolving roles in the inflammatory response; however, soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) metabolizes epoxides into diols, which lack pro-resolving functions and can be cytotoxic.

Both diabetes and stress are associated with depression. Here, we assess relationships between serum osteocalcin, depression and subjective stress in people with T2DM.
