SummaryFactor VII is activated to VIIa within hours after dietary fat, irrespective of its fatty acid composition. Edible oils contain oxidized material (hydroxy fatty acids, HOFA). Twenty-five fasting women, aged 38 (10) years, consumed 30 g walnut oil containing 26 (6) mg HOFA. Blood was collected 2-hourly to measure plasma triglycerides and plasma lipid HOFA by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. VII and sTF-dependent VIIa were quantified at 0, 6 and 24 h. Increased plasma triglycerides and HOFA (areas under the-curve 0-8 h, AUC) were related r = 0.83, p <0.001. VIIa increased from 2.6 (1.4) to 4.2 (1.9) ng/mL at 6 h (p <0.001). Plasma VII remained constant. VIIa (6 h) was related to plasma triglycerides- and HOFA-AUC: r = 0.38 and 0.53, respectively (both p <0.05). Plasma VIIa was also related to body weight, fasting triglycerides, HOFA and VII. Only HOFA-AUC and body weight related to VIIa (6 h) in stepwise regression analysis (p = 0.007 and 0.038, respectively). Oxidized, not normal, fat activates VII and could increase coronary risk in humans.

SummaryThrombolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction fails to re-establish coronary blood flow in a significant number of patients. One reason for this may be haemostatic imbalance. We investigated whether coagulation factor VII antigen (FVIIag), fibrinogen and protein C were related to reperfusion. Plasma from 45 patients was drawn before treatment and reperfusion assessed by means of continuous, on-line, vector-ECG analysis.Amongthe 17 patients with no reperfusion, FVIIag levels were significantly higher than among the 28 with signs of reperfusion (560 vs. 410 μg/l median, p = 0.006). Protein C levels where higher in the group with successful reperfusion (1.10 vs. 1.01 U/ml median, p = 0.03), whereas no difference was seen in fibrinogen levels. The findings were not influenced by plasma-triglycerides, body-mass index, age or time between onset of chest pain and thrombolytic therapy.The results suggest that FVII is of importance for the formation as well as resolution of coronary clots.

Abstract Context: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a hypercoagulable state. Tissue factor (TF) is the principal initiator of blood coagulation. Objective: Our objective was to examine the effects of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia on the TF pathway of blood coagulation in T2DM. Design: Three study protocols were used: 1) acute correction of hyperglycemia (with iv insulin) followed by 24 h of euglycemia, 2) 24 h of selective hyperinsulinemia, and 3) 24 h of combined hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Setting: The study took place at a clinical research center. Study Participants: Participants included 18 T2DM patients and 22 nondiabetic controls. Results: Basal TF-procoagulant activity (TF-PCA), monocyte TF mRNA, plasma coagulation factor VII (FVIIc), and thrombin-anti-thrombin complexes were higher in T2DM than in nondiabetic controls, indicating a chronic procoagulant state. Acutely normalizing hyperglycemia over 2–4 h resulted in a small (∼7%) but significant decline in TF-PCA with no further decline over 24 h. Raising insulin levels alone raised TF-PCA by 30%, whereas raising insulin and glucose levels together increased TF-PCA (by 80%), thrombin-anti-thrombin complexes, and prothrombin fragment 1.2. Plasma FVIIa and FVIIc declined with increases in TF-PCA. Conclusion: We conclude that the combination of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, common in poorly controlled patients with T2DM, contributes to a procoagulant state that may predispose these patients to acute cardiovascular events.
