Previous studies have demonstrated activation of the contact system of coagulation and an increase in factor VII coagulant activity (VIIc) when citrated plasma is incubated in the presence of micellar stearate. The products of contact activation, factors XIIa and IXa, were responsible in this system for the activation of factor VII, thereby increasing factor VIIc. To obtain evidence that these in vitro interactions also operate in vivo, factor VIIc was examined in relation to plasma free fatty acid concentrations in five healthy individuals during the consumption of isocaloric high-saturated fat, high-unsaturated fat, and low-fat diets, each taken for 4 weeks in random order and separated by intervals of 12 weeks. For all but the final 3 days of each phase, subjects selected appropriate foods from prepared lists to meet the dietary requirements. Experimental diets of predetermined fat content and composition were fed on days 26 through 28 in each phase. Fat supplied on average 62% of energy in two of the experimental diets and less than 20% of energy in the third. On the final day of each dietary phase, the concentrations of the various free fatty acids and factor VIIc were measured before breakfast and at three 150-minute intervals thereafter. Plasma factor VIIc was, respectively, 6.5% and 13.1% of standard higher on the unsaturated and saturated fat diets than on the low-fat diet. Furthermore, the plasma concentration of stearic acid was strongly associated with factor VIIc (r = .58; P &lt; .0001), and this relation remained significant (P = .003) after allowance for the plasma concentrations of palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Dietary fat induces changes in factor VII coagulant activity through effects on plasma free stearic acid concentration.
