Interrelationship between coagulation factor VII and obesity in diabetes mellitus (type 2).
We explored the interrelationships of coagulation FVII activity levels with obesity, leptin and insulin resistance in diabetes mellitus (DM Type 2) and in non-diabetic control subjects. We found FVII hypercoagulant activity levels in DM not associated with obesity, leptin levels or insulin resistance. It was found independently associated with hypertriglyceridemia.
