“…The decrease in fVIII activity observed in the present study corresponds well with the results previously reported in azoxymethane-treated mice in which, at the highest dose of azoxymethane tested (50 g/g body weight), fVIII activity dropped to 10% of control levels at 24 hours after administration. 10 Several factors have been shown to influence circulating fVIII levels, including VWF whose levels display a strong positive correlation with fVIII levels (reviewed in Kamphuisen et al 15 ). Accordingly, in the complete absence of VWF, fVIII levels are reduced by approximately 80% in mice.…”
