Vascular calcification (VC), which is categorized by intimal and medial calcification,
depending on the site (s) involved within the vessel, is closely related to cardiovascular …

Vitamin K is traditionally connected with blood coagulation, since it is needed for the
posttranslational modification of 7 proteins involved in this cascade. However, it is also …

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) exhibit tremendously elevated risk for
cardiovascular disease, particularly ischemic heart disease, due to premature vascular and …

Abstract α-Tocopherol (α-T) is a required dietary nutrient for humans and thus is a vitamin.
This narrative review focuses on vitamin E structures, functions, biological determinants and …

In postmenopausal women and elderly men, bone density decreases with age and vascular
calcification is aggravated. This condition is closely associated with vitamin K2 deficiency. A …

Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a potent inhibitor of vascular calcification (VC) and requires
carboxylation by vitamin K to exert calcification inhibition. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) …

Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), a small Gla vitamin K-dependent protein, is the most powerful
natural occurring inhibitor of calcification in the human body. To become biologically active …

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that is indispensable for the activation of vitamin K-
dependent proteins (VKDPs) and may be implicated in cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

Vitamin K (phylloquinone or vitamin K1 and menaquinones or vitamin K2) plays an
important role as a cofactor in the synthesis of hepatic blood coagulation proteins, but …

Vitamin K is a multifunctional micronutrient implicated in age-related diseases such as
cardiovascular diseases, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Although vitamin K-dependent …
