Vitamin K: Past, Present, Future Essential for normal blood
coagulation, possible roles in bone, vascular, and tumor
metabolism, and a nutrient critical to the health of the newborn
infant -- these are just some of the many health-promoting aspects
of Vitamin K. Vitamin K in Health and Disease navigates the
exciting research venues that have opened in the past few years
surrounding this micro nutrient, particularly its role in skeletal
and cardiovascular health. It also provides the historical timeline
of vitamin K research and discovery that began in the 1930s.
Comprehensive in scope, this book offers complete coverage of the
chemistry of Vitamin K; deficiency signs and nutritional
assessment; metabolism and biochemistry; and pharmacology. It also
presents up-to-date scientific studies on the nutritional,
metabolic, and medical aspects along with a review of current
dietary requirements and the difficulty involved in establishing an
appropriate dietary reference intake for Vitamin K. Extensive
References, More than 45 Illustrations, Numerous Tables Based on
John Suttie's 35 years of experience directing a broad vitamin K
research program, this work discusses plasma and non-plasma Vitamin
K-dependent proteins. It also includes helpful tables on food
sources, population intake of Vitamin K, and the impact of diet on
the circulating levels of the vitamin - highlighting the role of
vitamin K in health and disease. Vitamin K in Health and Disease
provides a foundation for future innovations in research and in
determining the best ways to implement current knowledge.
