Summary

This study is testing whether a special ultraviolet flashlight can safely measure important signaling chemicals in the body without needles or invasive procedures. Researchers will shine the light on participants' skin to see if it can detect nitric oxide, a chemical that helps cells communicate. The goal is to develop an easier way to monitor health that could help with early detection of problems.
