U of A Researchers Try to Prevent Risk of Stroke and Blood Clots in Obese Children
Published on Mar 21, 2012A team of researchers from the University of Alberta is looking at ways to correct the clotting system in obese children. If left uncorrected, this system imbalance leaves these children at a higher risk for cardiovascular problems such as strokes and blood clots.
Principal investigator Lesley Mitchell, a researcher and an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics with the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, said the team is using funding from a three-year, $275,000 grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to see if changes to diet, exercise or lifestyle can correct this clotting system problem.
Researchers already know that obesity in children affects blood clotting in two ways -- the body makes bigger clots and takes more than eight times as long to dissolve a clot -- something Mitchell describes as "a double whammy" for these kids. Typically, the body takes slightly less than an hour to dissolve a clot in children and adults with a normal body weight. But in children with obesity, who are prone to developing Type 2 diabetes, the body takes eight hours to dissolve clots.
"This tells us that the clotting system is wonky in obese children," says Mitchell. "So our team is looking at ways to try and correct this imbalance, to improve the clotting breakdown system."
She is working on this research with: Geoff Ball, a researcher in the Department of Pediatrics; Spencer Proctor, a researcher with the Alberta Diabetes Institute; School of Public Health researcher Yutaka Yasui; and Sujata Persad, a researcher in the Department of Pediatrics.
Ball is working with families whose children have weight management issues to see if lifestyle changes are making a difference in the clotting system, based on what researchers see in blood samples from these children.
Meanwhile, Proctor is working in the laboratory to see if changes to diet can fix the broken clotting system.
Ultimately, the U of A research team wants to find out why children with obesity have a higher risk for blood clots and strokes. They believe the risk may be associated with insulin resistance and an inflammatory response, says Mitchell.
