Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone) Supplementation And Its Benefits In Cardiovascular Disease, Osteoporosis, And Cancer, Grant S. Buchanan, Md, Thomas Melvin, Brandon Merritt, Charles Bishop, Md, Franklin D. Shuler, Md, Phd Oct 2016

Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone) Supplementation And Its Benefits In Cardiovascular Disease, Osteoporosis, And Cancer, Grant S. Buchanan, Md, Thomas Melvin, Brandon Merritt, Charles Bishop, Md, Franklin D. Shuler, Md, Phd

Franklin D. Shuler

Vitamin K is known to play an essential role in the coagulation cascade; however, a growing body of research has found that a subtype of this vitamin, vitamin K2 (menaquinone) may have a beneficial effect in osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of recent literature regarding menaquinone and its role in human health. This review discusses the physiology of menaquinone, its clinical benefits in cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and cancer, and how it may interact with certain medications. The authors conclude that menaquinone supplementation has been shown to improve carboxylation of …

Na/K-Atpase Amplification Of Oxidant Stress; A Universal But Unrecognized Clinical Target?, Joseph I. Shapiro Md

Joseph I Shapiro MD

Schematic showing Na/K‐ATPase as reactive oxygen species (ROS) amplifier system. CTS‐cardiotonic steroids, Orange dimer is Na/K‐ATPase. pNaKtide refers to peptide formed from epitope of Na/K‐ATPase a1 subunit known to bind Src tyrosine kinase fused with TAT leader sequence.

Overweight In Urban, Low-Income, African American And Hispanic Children Attending Los Angeles Elementary Schools: Research Stimulating Action, Wendelin M. Slusser, William G. Cumberland, Ben L. Browdy, Donna Winham, Charlotte G. Neumann

Donna Winham

Objective: This study was undertaken to establish the prevalence and severity of nutritional problems among low-income children of elementary school age in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) in order to collect baseline data to inform policy-makers. Design and methods: A cross-sectional survey of children in 14 elementary schools was conducted from January to June, 1998. Nine hundred and nineteen children were measured and interviewed. The planning, design and data analysis were carried out in collaboration with key LAUSD policy-makers. Results: More than 35% of the sample was classified as being at risk for overweight or overweight according to …

Autoradiographic Localization Of Exogenously Supplied Amino Acids After Uptake By The Polychaete, Glycera Dibranchiata Ehlers, Paul Chien, Michael Rice Dec 1984

Autoradiographic Localization Of Exogenously Supplied Amino Acids After Uptake By The Polychaete, Glycera Dibranchiata Ehlers, Paul Chien, Michael Rice

Michael A Rice

Localization of amino acid transport sites within the integument of Glycera dibranchiata Ehlers was carried out by freeze-section and freeze-dry histological techniques. The worms were exposed for one hour to the non-metabolizable amino acid analog c(14)-cycloleucine in seawater. Freeze-sectioning and freeze drying of tissue samples allows the localization of water soluble compounds by autoradiography. Amino acid uptake is largely across the parapodial gill surfaces and the epidermis. The gills become rapidly labelled with c(14)-cycloleucine to a greater extent than the epidermal cell layers. Coelomocytes within the gills become radiolabeled in one hour. It is suggested that the rapid labelling of …


Transport Of Dissolved Amino Acids By The Mussel, Mytilus Edulis: Demonstration Of Net Uptake From Natural Seawater, Donal T. Manahan, Stephen H. Wright, Grover C. Stephens, Michael A. Rice Mar 1982

Transport Of Dissolved Amino Acids By The Mussel, Mytilus Edulis: Demonstration Of Net Uptake From Natural Seawater, Donal T. Manahan, Stephen H. Wright, Grover C. Stephens, Michael A. Rice

Michael A Rice

High-performance liquid chromatography provides direct evidence for substantial removal of naturally occurring specific free amino acids during a single passage of water through the mantle cavity of mussels. This occurs during the few seconds required for passage of the water across the gill, and removal proceeds unabated at ambient concentrations as low as 38 nanomoles per liter.
