Vitamin K as an Endocrine Modulator: Mechanistic Links to Glucose Metabolism and Beyond

2026-03-12

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin K (VK), traditionally recognized for its role in coagulation, is increasingly implicated in extrahepatic processes, including glucose metabolism and calcium regulation. Suboptimal VK status is common in the general population and may limit these functions, yet evidence linking VK to glucose metabolism and other endocrine axes remains heterogeneous and incompletely synthesized. This narrative review integra...
