Total lipids will be extracted from each fraction (whole plasma, RBC) and will be evaluated for its fatty acid composition using gas-chromatography linked with flame ionization detector

TC, HDL-C and TG in serum, will be determined by automated methods in duplicate on an auto-analyzer (VITROS 350). LDL-C concentrations will be calculated using the Friedewald equation.

Measurement of inflammatory biomarker such as CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α and cell adhesion molecules such as e-selectin, p-selectin, s-ICAM and s-VCAM, will be measured in multiplex on a Meso Scale Discovery platform.

Blood pressure will be measure in conjunction with pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AI) to assess arterial stiffness using a Mobil-O-Graph, in triplicate.

Measurement of fasting glucose using an auto-analyzer, and insulin by radioimmunoassay, to investigate the impact of hemp product consumption on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Using a Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry machine to analyze body composition, including measuring visceral adiposity

The activity monitors will measure the participants' physical activity levels, steps taken, and the different amounts of time spent at different activity levels.
