What is PEth alcohol testing?

Phosphatidylethanols (PEth) are a group of phospholipids formed only in the presence of ethanol via the action of phospholipase D (PLD). The lipid accumulates in the brain and competes at agonists sites of lipid-gated ion channels contributing to alcohol intoxication. The chemical similarity of PEth to phosphatidic acid (PA) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) suggest a likely broad perturbation to lipid signaling, the exact role of PEth as a competitive lipid ligand has not been studied extensively. You can read more about commercial PEth testing companies here. PEths are a group of phospholipids with a common phosphoethanol head group with two fatty acid chains that differ in chain length and degree of unsaturation. Alcohol consumption is an ongoing public health issue that represents up to five percent of the global disease burden. Clinical evaluation of alcohol abuse has historically relied upon measurement of serum liver enzymes of corpuscular volume of red blood ce

You can now buy a £5 paternity test from a pharmacy - but do they really work?

UK discount store Home Bargains famously sells a home paternity test kit that costs just £4.99. The kit contains a set of mouth swabs (one for the child, one for the potential father), consent forms, and envelopes used to send the completed kit to a UK testing lab. The company that produces the tests promise to analyse your samples and have your results ready the next working day, using cutting-edge DNA science. According to the Home Bargains website , the testing lab uses "24 markers, giving the most accurate result possible, using up to the minute technology" and the testing technology is "used by TV shows such as The Jeremy Kyle Show and media companies." If that sounds like an outrageously cheap deal, well that's because it is. The £4.99 price tag is merely the cost of the box and its contents—the lab charges an additional processing fee of £99 for doing the actual scientific testing. So the real price you pay is £103.99. It's worth noting th
