- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To examine changes in the composition and abundance of antioxidant proteins in the circulatory extracellular vesicle as a composite primary outcome- an exploratory outcome.<br><br>Plasma samples will be analyzed to characterise blood extracellular vesicles by ultracentrifugation, size exclusion chromatography, NTA NS300, transmission electron microscopy, BCA protein assay and western blot. ELISA/LC-MS will analyse the EVs' protein composition.<br>(randomized cross-over design)<br>[On 6 different occasions: <br>Treatment Visits (Randomly assigned) 2 & 5; at baseline and 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 360 and 480 min<br> Interim Visits 3,4, 6 and 7: 24 hr and 48 hr respectively ]
