For each participant the MCFI was calculated as the mean fluorescence of a large sample of platelets (10,000 platelets per individual), the well-known Central Limit Theorem assures us that the Normal distribution is a close approximation for the distribution of the MCFIs for the experimental groups. GraphPad Prism 5 was employed to perform one-way ANOVA for all statistical analysis, with a p value of ≤0.005 considered significant. Post-hoc Dunnett’s Multiple Comparison Test was performed to compare the two diabetic groups to the controls.
