Factor 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, p0.001. VIIa increased from 2.6 (1.4) to 4.2 (1.9) ng/mL at 6 h (p0.001). Plasma VII remained constant. VIIa (6 h) was related to plasma triglycerides- and HOFA-AUC: r = 0.38 and 0.53, respectively (both p0.05). 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. |
