Diet and blood coagulation factor VII - a key protein in arterial thrombosis

Article Abstract:

Diet plays an important role in controlling blood coagulation factor VII (FVII), a key protein found in the hemostatic system and a risk factor in arterial thrombosis. The first trial that demonstrated the dietary effects on FVII was a single-armed intervention study involving hyperlipemic men. Epidemiologic data indicated that increased plasma levels of FVII coagulant activity (FVIIc) contribute to coronary thrombosis. Dietary modification of FVIIc, therefore, could be a rational strategy in the prevention of coronary heart disease.

An eight-month controlled study of a low-fat high-fibre diet: effects on blood lipids and blood pressure in healthy young subjects

Article Abstract:

The effect of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations for fat and fiber was evaluated among 18 men and 12 Danish women. Results show that a diet with fat content below 30% of energy, a saturated fat content less than 10% and high fiber content decreases serum cholesterol levels irrespective of previous serum lipid levels. Systolic blood pressure is also reduced in normotensive men. These findings suggest that diet modification among Danish subjects can influence the risk factors that predispose to stroke and coronary heart disease.

Sustained improvement in blood lipids, coagulation, and fibrinolysis after major weight loss in obese subjects

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to determine if major weight loss leads to sustained improvement in blood lipids and hemostatic profile among obese subjects and to find out the impact of slimming and maintenance regimens. The study utilized a low energy formula diet and low-energy conventional diet combined with anorectic compound. Results revealed that considerable weight loss is linked with sustained improvements in blood lipids and hemostatic profile regardless of slimming and maintenance regimens.
