Corn oil-induced decrease in arterial thrombosis tendency may be related to altered plasma vitamin K transport

In this article we report the effects of low and high fat diets on the arterial thrombosis tendency in rats. The animal system used was the aorta loop model, in which we compared the effect of saturated (hardened coconut oil, HCO) and unsaturated (sunflower seed oil, SSO; corn oil, CO) fatty acids on the arterial thrombosis tendency at high fat intake (50 energy%, 45 energy% of which was either HCO, SSO, or CO). Under these conditions both SSO...
