The Effect of ABO Blood Group on von Willebrand Response to Exercise

Abstract: Individuals of O blood group have significantly lower plasma levels of either Factor VIII (FVIII) or the von Willebrand factor (vWF). Conversely, there is accumulating evidence that elevated FVIII-vWF levels may represent an important risk factor for ischemic heart and venous thromboembolic disease. In this study, individuals exercised for 20 minutes at 10% below the first ventilatory threshold (aerobic threshold), which corresponds to 48% of maximum oxygen uptake. People with non-O blood group show higher res… Show more

“…From our study, two results indicate the active involvement of the endothelium in the hemostatic improvement following exercise in haemophilia A: the acute increase, though not statistically significant, in plasma VWF and the elevation of endothelial cellderived microparticles. The elevated VWF levels are in agreement with recent reports in dogs [24] as well as in humans postexercise [25][26][27]. Elevated plasma levels of cytokines such as TNFa and IL-6 and enhanced tissue factor activity have been reported following exercise signifying a possible role for the endothelium in the pro-hemostatic response following exercise [28].…”

“…Furthermore, blood group non-O has been associated with an increased risk of CHD [48][50]. Ribeiro et al observed that males with blood group non-O (N = 8) had higher post-exercise VWF:Ag levels than males with blood group O (N = 8), although the rise of VWF:Ag was not statistically significantly different between the groups [51]. In our study, subjects with blood group non-O had higher levels at exhaustion (median [IQR], 1.60 IU/mL [1.2–2.0]), than subjects with blood group O (1.29 IU/mL [1.1–1.6], p = 0.03).…”

“…One study of 1,117 blood donors revealed that blood group O had the lowest average concentration of circulating von Willebrand antigen (vWF:Ag, 75%), blood group AB had the highest concentration (123%), and intermediate concentrations were observed in group A (106%) and group B (117%). 7 The higher vWF:Ag concentrations in individuals with blood group AB are likely related to individuals with blood group A or blood group B being homozygous or heterozygous for the alleles encoding the A-and B-transferases. In this context, individuals with the AO or BO genotype have higher vW-F:Ag concentrations than individuals with the OO genotype, but lower concentrations than individuals with the AA, BB, or AB genotype, which all confer similar high concentrations of vWF:Ag.…”

“…The relationship between ABO blood group and bleeding may be related to correlations between ABO blood group and plasma concentrations of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and factor VIII. One study of 1,117 blood donors revealed that blood group O had the lowest average concentration of circulating von Willebrand antigen (vWF:Ag, 75%), blood group AB had the highest concentration (123%), and intermediate concentrations were observed in group A (106%) and group B (117%) 7 . The higher vWF:Ag concentrations in individuals with blood group AB are likely related to individuals with blood group A or blood group B being homozygous or heterozygous for the alleles encoding the A‐ and B‐transferases.…”
