Phospholipase C-sensitive factor VIII activity in normal pregnancy.
We have previously reported the existence of a phospholipase C-sensitive form of factor VII-probably a factor VII-phospholipid complex in normal pregnancy. By bivariate regression analysis, the level of this complex shows highly significant positive correlations with serum triglycerides (r = 0.90, p less than 0.0001) and blood platelet count (r = 0.067, p = 0.0004). This high degree of correlation was verified by stepwise multiple regression analysis. It is presently not known how this factor VII complex formes.
