Patient demographics of different subject groups included in (A) oral anticoagulation (OA) experiments to assess the effects of three of the most widely used oral blood anticoagulants: group 1, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) (100 mg/day), group 2, a combination of ASA + clopidogrel (Plavix) (100 mg + 75 mg/day), and group 3, nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) (e.g., Apixaban and Rivaroxaban) (dose was dependent on the pathology and drug type). All subjects were under a consistent blood anticoagulation regime in the past 6 months and (B) diabetes mellitus (DM) experiments, further differentiated into type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes, in order to assess the effect of DM independently of OA use. Subjects had a clinical diagnosis of DM for longer than one year prior to initiation of the study. BMI = body mass index and SD = standard deviation.
