Abstract TP268: Xylitol, Xylose, and MicroRNAs Associated with Thrombosis and the Clotting Cascade in a Multi-Omics Cross-Sectional Study of Adults at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes and Stroke

Older adults with obesity and metabolic syndrome may have decreased elimination of the xylitol metabolite xylose, which may explain the higher observed risk of thrombosis and stroke in older adults who consume foods with sugar alcohols. However, multiomics studies of both xylitol metabolites and these miRs in humans have not been done.
