Phylloquinone transport and its influence on gamma-carboxyglutamate residues of osteocalcin in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.

Abstract excerpt

Plasma concentrations of phylloquinone in 42 fasting hemodialysis patients showed a much wider range than in healthy adults. Phylloquinone concentrations were best predicted by the concentration ratio of beta-very-low-density-lipoprotein to low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (r = 0.71), which is closely related to chylomicron-remnant clearance. Phylloquinone concentrations in plasma were related to...
