Vitamin K intake and atherosclerosis.

Current opinion in lipidology - 1 Feb 2008

Erkkilä Arja T, Booth Sarah L

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: It has been hypothesized that insufficient intake of vitamin K may increase soft-tissue calcification owing to impaired gamma-carboxylation of the vitamin K-dependent protein matrix gamma-carboxyglutamic acid. The evidence to support this putative role of vitamin K intake in atherosclerosis is reviewed. RECENT FINDINGS: In animal models, multiple forms of vitamin K have been shown to reverse...
