This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary vitamin K intake and all-cause mortality in individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We analyzed data from 7857 NAFLD participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2005–2018) linked to mortality outcomes from the National Death Index (NDI). Dietary vitamin K intake was… Continue reading Dietary vitamin #K intake associates with reduced all-cause #mortality in non-alcoholic #fatty #liver disease patients

Dietary pro-oxidant therapy by a vitamin #K precursor targets PI 3-kinase VPS34 function

In light of emerging evidence that antioxidants can have cancer-promoting effects, Swamynathan et al. tested potential pro-oxidant interventions (see the Perspective by Pannia and Dowling). In particular, the authors focused on menadione sodium bisulfite, a water-soluble precursor of vitamin K. As the authors anticipated, this menadione derivative suppressed prostate cancer growth. The researchers then examined… Continue reading Dietary pro-oxidant therapy by a vitamin #K precursor targets PI 3-kinase VPS34 function
