However, little is known about the efficacy of dietary intake of vitamin K2for bone health. We compared the effects of various levels of fermented soybeans (Natto) intake , which contains plenty of vitamin K2, on bone stiffness and bone turnover markers in healthy premenopausal women, Seventy-three healthy premenopausal women were ran domly divided into four groups matched for age and parity categories . Natto was supplied as follows: Group 1(no intake), Group 2 (once per month), Group 3 (once per week) and Group 4 (three times per week). Subjects took Natto at a lunch for 1 y, and the stiffness index by quantitative ultrasound and bone turnover markers were assessed at baseline, 6 mo and 1 y There was no statistical difference in the stiffness index during the 1 y observation . How ever, bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) in Group 4 was higher than that in Group 3 at 1 y and undercarboxylated osteocalcin (Glu) in Group 4 was significantly lower than those in Groups 1, 2 and 3 at 6 mo. Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of reduction of bone formation markers declined to 0.07 in Group 4 based on that in Group 1. In premenopausal women who had to keep the stiffness index as high as possible before menopause, Natto intake may have contributed to the promotion of bone formation . Key Words premenopausal women , Natto intake, stiffness index, bone formation marker, vitamin K2 With the rapidly increasing population of the elderly high as possible in adolescence but also to maintain in Japan, the incidence of osteoporosis and the number high BMD until menopause. of elderly patients suffering from bone fractures are It is well known that nutritional and pharmacologi increasing (1).

Recently, it has been suggested that vitamin K2 ture, most osteoporotic patients are diagnosed after the may play an important role in both aspects .

Prevention Services menatetrenone or menaquinone-4 (MK-4), is approved Task Force (USPSTF), and 2002 clinical practice guide as a therapeutic agent of osteoporosis in Japan . Since lines for the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin through y-carboxyla in Canada do not recommend for routine osteoporosis tion, its deficiency may increase the circulating level of screening in postmenopausal women who are younger undercarboxylated osteocalcin (Glu) and the risk of hip than 60 or in women aged 60 to 64 who are not at fracture (5). Moreover, subjects with osteoporotic pa increased risk for osteoporotic fractures (2, 3). Even tients treated with menatetrenone for 48 wk shows the though anti-resorptive therapies have been shown to significant increase in carboxylated osteocalcin (Gla) reduce fracture risk and increase bone mineral density and decrease in Glu (6). Not only vitamin D3 adminis (BMD)(3), it is difficult to avoid the risk of fracture since tration alone but also the combined administration of it takes significant time to recover BMD except for treat vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 significantly increase BMD ment. In females, BMD reaches its maximal level in ado in postmenopausal women (7). On the other hand , lescence, and gradually decreases until menopause , from the nutritional perspective, the prospective cohort after which it deceases dramatically (4). In order to pre study including both premenopausal and postmeno vent the incidence of involutional osteoporosis, it seems pausal women shows that dietary intake of vitamin K important not only to make a maximal level of BMD as from vegetables, namely vitamin Kl intake , reduces the risk of femoral neck fracture (8).

KEYWORDS Literature-related discovery; Text mining; Scientometrics; Parkinson‟s disease; Crohn‟s disease; neurodegeneration; autoimmunity; inflammation © The MITRE Corporation. All rights reserved ABSTRACT Literature-related discovery (LRD) is the linking of two or more literature concepts that have heretofore not been linked (i.e., disjoint), in order to produce novel, interesting, and intelligible knowledge (i.e., potential discovery). The mainstream software for assisting LRD is Arrowsmith, and it generates intermediate linking literatures by matching title phrases from two disjoint literatures (literatures that do not share common records). Arrowsmith then prioritizes these linking phrases through a series of text-based filters. The present study examines another route to linking disjoint literatures (shared references) through a process called bibliographic coupling. Two disjoint literatures were selected: Parkinson‟s Disease (PD) (neurodegeneration) and Crohn‟s Disease (CD)(autoimmune). Three cases were examined: matching phrases in records with no shared references; shared references in records with no matching phrases; matching phrases in records with shared references. In addition, the main themes in the body of shared references were examined through grouping techniques to identify the myriad linkages between the two literatures. No concepts were identified in the matching phrases/no shared references records that could not be found in the matching phrases/shared references records.

This monograph is intended for informational purposes only, and should not be interpreted as specific medical advice. You should consult with a qualified healthcare provider before making decisions about therapies and/or health conditions. While some complementary and alternative techniques have been studied scientifically, high-quality data regarding safety, effectiveness, and mechanism of action are limited or controversial for most therapies. Whenever possible, it is recommended that practitioners be licensed by a recognized professional organization that adheres to clearly published standards. In addition, before starting a new technique or engaging a practitioner, it is recommended that patients speak with their primary healthcare provider(s). Potential benefits, risks (including financial costs), and alternatives should be carefully considered. The below monograph is designed to provide historical background and an overview of clinically-oriented research, and neither advocates for or against the use of a particular therapy.

The name "vitamin K" refers to a group of chemically similar fat-soluble compounds called naphthoquinones. Vitamin K1 (phytonadione) is the natural form of vitamin K, which is found in plants and provides the primary source of vitamin K to humans through dietary consumption. Vitamin K2 compounds (menaquinones) are made by bacteria in the human gut and provide a smaller amount of the human vitamin K requirement. Vitamin K1 is commercially manufactured for medicinal use under several brand names (Phylloquinone®, Phytonadione®, AquaMEPHYTON®, Mephyton®, Konakion®).

  • Menatetrenone, a Vitamin K2 Analogue, Inhibits Hepatocellular
    Cancer Therapy: Preclinical Menatetrenone, a Vitamin K2 Analogue, Inhibits Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Growth by Suppressing Cyclin D1 Expression through Inhibition of Nuclear Factor KBActivation Iwata Ozaki,1, 2 Hao Zhang,1, 3 To s hi hi ko Mi z u t a , 1Ya s u s hi Id e ,1Yuichiro Eguchi,1TsutomuYasutake,1 Toshiyuki Sakamaki,4 Richard G. Pestell,4 and KyosukeYamamoto1 Abstract Purpose: Menatetrenone, a vitamin K2 analogue, plays an important role in the production of blood coagulation factors. Menatetrenone has also bee shown to have antineoplastic effects against several cancer cell lines including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. However, the mechanisms by which vitamin K2 inhibits HCC cell growth have not bee fully clarified, and we therefore investigated the molecular basis of vitamin K2^ induced growth inhibition of HCC cells. Experimental Design: HCC cells were treated with vitamin K2 and the expression of several growth-related genes including cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors and cyclin D1 was examined at the mRNA and protein levels. A reporter gene assay of the cyclin D1promoter was done under vitamin K2 treatment.The regulation of nuclear factor nB(NF-nB) activation was investigated by aNF-nB reporter gene assay, an electrophoretic mobility shift assay, aWestern blot for phosphor- ylated InB, and an in vitro kinase assay for InB kinase (IKK).We also examined the effect of vitamin K2 on the growth of HCC cells transfected with p65 or cyclin D1. Results:Vitamin K2 inhibited cyclin D1mRNA and protein expression in a dose-dependent man- ner in the HCC cells. Vitamin K2 also suppressed the NF-nB binding site-dependent cyclin D1 promoter activity and suppressed the basal, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)^, TNF-a^, and interleukin (IL)-1^ induced activation of NF-nB binding and transactivation.

Recipe 1: Cranberry-Raspberry-Orange-Jello Thing-y. This one is originally out of the Better Homes and gardens cookbook . probably an older one (1950s - the red and white plaid one) or one that was a re-issue. It is called something like "Cranberry Raspberry Ring" or something close. It is in the salad section. Here's my version: 1. Cut up an orange and remove the seeds and stem area. Put it into a food processor (rind and all) with a little orange juice (a splash or so) to blenderize it into mass of orange pulp. 2. Take a fresh or frozen bag of cranberries and pick out any bad ones (there are usually a few - they often float up if you put them into some water to wash them off.)
