Description:
Phlebotomy will be performed following an overnight fast, and samples will be banked for assessment of cytokines and endothelial biomarkers. Blood samples (45-50 ml) will be collected in plasma vacutainer tubes. Plasma will be separated and preserved in a freezer. The peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) fraction will also be kept in a freezer for genetic evaluation. All samples will be de-identified and preserved at -80oC and assayed together in a batch after the collection of the last sample (in 2020). Samples will be assayed for inflammatory and endothelial function by ELISA. Classical vascular risk factors will also be assessed.
