Epub 2014 Mar 19. PMID: 24647393 Abstract Title:  Dietary intake of vitamin K is inversely associated with mortality risk. Abstract:  Vitamin K has been related to cardiovascular disease and cancer risk. However, data on total mortality are scarce. The aim of the present study was to assess the association between the dietary intake of different types of vitamin K and mortality in a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular disease risk. A prospective cohort analysis was conducted in 7216 participants from the PREDIMED (Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea) study (median follow-up of 4.8 y). Energy and nutrient intakes were evaluated using a validated 137-item food frequency questionnaire. Dietary vitamin K intake was calculated annually using the USDA food composition database and other published sources. Deaths were ascertained by an end-point adjudication committee unaware of the dietary habits of participants after they had reviewed medical records and linked up to the National Death Index. Cox proportional hazard models were fitted to assess the RR of mortality. Energy-adjusted baseline dietary phylloquinone intake was inversely associated with a significantly reduced risk of cancer and all-cause mortality after controlling for potential confounders (HR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.30, 0.96; and HR: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.45, 0.90, respectively). In longitudinal assessments, individuals who increased their intake of phylloquinone or menaquinone during follow-up had a lower risk of cancer (HR: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.43, 0.95; and HR: 0.41; 95% CI: 0.26, 0.64, respectively) and all-cause mortality (HR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.44, 0.73; and HR: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.42, 0.73, respectively) than individuals who decreased or did not change theirintake. Also, individuals who increased their intake of dietary phylloquinone had a lower risk of cardiovascular mortality risk (HR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.31, 0.86). However, no association between changes in menaquinone intake and cardiovascular mortality was observed (HR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.44, 1.29). Anincrease in dietary intake of vitamin K is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular, cancer, or all-cause mortality in a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular disease risk.

Epub 2018 Mar 20. PMID: 29597144 Abstract Title:  Vitamin K: Redox-modulation, prevention of mitochondrial dysfunction and anticancer effect. Abstract:  This review is directed to the redox-modulating properties and anticancer effect of vitamin K. The concept is focused on two aspects: (i) redox-cycle of vitamin K and its effect on the calcium homeostasis,&quot;oncogenic&quot;and&quot;onco-suppressive&quot;reactive oxygen species and the specific induction of oxidative stress in cancer; (ii) vitamin K plus C as a powerful redox-system, which forms a bypass between mitochondrial complexes II and III and thus prevents mitochondrial dysfunction, restores oxidative phosphorylation and aerobic glycolysis, modulates the redox-state of endogenous redox-pairs, eliminates the hypoxic environment of cancer cells and induces cell death. The analyzed data suggest that vitamin C&amp;K can sensitize cancer cells to conventional chemotherapy, which allows achievement of a lower effective dose of the drug and minimizing the harmful side-effects. The review is intended for a wide audience of readers - from students to specialists in the field. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/vitamin-c-and-k-can-sensitize-cancer-cells-conventional-chemotherapy#comments Cancers: All Vitamin C Vitamin K Chemosensitizer Cancers: All Chemosensitizer Vitamin C Vitamin K Review Sat, 07 Apr 2018 14:27:27 +0000 greenmedinfo 162336 at https://greenmedinfo.com Vitamin K2 induces apoptosis in bladder cancer cells. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/vitamin-k2-induces-apoptosis-bladder-cancer-cells n/a PMID:  PLoS One. 2016 ;11(8):e0161886. Epub 2016 Aug 29. PMID: 27570977 Abstract Title:  Vitamin K2 Induces Mitochondria-Related Apoptosis in Human Bladder Cancer Cells via ROS and JNK/p38 MAPK Signal Pathways. Abstract:  The effects of vitamin K2 on apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells have been well established in previous studies. However, the apoptotic effect of vitamin K2 on bladder cancer cells has not been evaluated. The aim of this study is to examine the apoptotic activity of Vitamin K2 in bladder cancer cells and investigate the underlying mechanism. In this study, Vitamin K2 induced apoptosis in bladder cancer cells through mitochondria pathway including loss of mitochondria membrane potential, cytochrome C release and caspase-3 cascade. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAPK was detected in Vitamin K2-treated cells and both SP600125 (an inhibitor of JNK) and SB203580 (an inhibitor of p38 MAPK) completely abolished the Vitamin K2-induced apoptosis and loss of mitochondria membrane potential. Moreover, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected in bladder cancer cells, upon treatment of vitamin K2 and the anti-oxidant N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) almost blocked the Vitamin K2-triggered apoptosis, loss of mitochondria membrane potential and activation of JNK and p38 MAPK. Taken together, these findings revealed that Vitamin K2 induces apoptosis in bladder cancer cells via ROS-mediated JNK/p38 MAPK and Mitochondrial pathways. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/vitamin-k2-induces-apoptosis-bladder-cancer-cells#comments Bladder Cancer Vitamin K2 Apoptotic Apoptotic bladder cancer Cancer Vitamin K Vitamin K2 In Vitro Study Sun, 08 Jan 2017 20:33:20 +0000 greenmedinfo 141643 at https://greenmedinfo.com Why You Need To Supplement Essential Fatty Acids https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/why-you-need-supplement-essential-fatty-acids <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2015<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><br /> <img alt="Why You Need To Supplement Essential Fatty Acids" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/stebu/images/essential_fatty_acids.png" style="width: 600px; height: 600px;" /></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><em>Today, healthy fatty acid deficiency is epidemic.
