The research study is about blood cells (platelets) and their power houses (mitochondria). The investigators want to learn about their behavior in order to ensure that our laboratory procedures are generating optimal results.
The objectives of this study are to assess platelet activation following standard laboratory procedures used in the process of measuring platelet mitochondrial function, and to determine the optimal amount of digitonin needed to permeabilize platelet cell membrane.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Platelet activation from isolated platelets | Whole blood will be collected following an overnight fast, and platelets isolated using standard procedures. Platelet activation markers (e.g., CD62P ) will be measured using flow cytometric analysis. | day 1 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Platelet activation measured in whole blood | Whole blood will be collected following an overnight fast. Platelet activation will be measured in whole blood by the expression CD62P | day 1 |
| Platelet reactivity measured in whole blood |
