Vitamin K is necessary for the production of Clotting Factors II, VII, IX and X. So a vitamin K deficiency could lead to a bleeding disorder. Additionally vitamin K is necessary for the production of the anticoagulant protein C and protein S. Inhibition of Vitamin K function is also associated with clotting disorders though for this to occur there has to be a deficiency in either proteins C or S.
Vitamin K is necessary for normal clotting of blood in humans. Specifically, vitamin K is required for the liver to make factors that are necessary for blood to properly clot (coagulate), including factor II (prothrombin), factor VII (proconvertin), factor IX (thromboplastin component), and factor X (Stuart factor). Other clotting factors that depend on vitamin K are protein C, protein S, and protein Z. Deficiency of vitamin K or disturbances of liver function (for example, severe liver failure) may lead to deficiencies of clotting factors and excess bleeding.
Vitamin K is the essential vitamin necessary for blood clotting.
yes. for example, there are bacteria in the human intestinal tract that synthesize Vitamin K for us.
No
Type your answer here... VItamin k is required by the liver to synthesize proteins for blood clotting purposes you get vitamin k from leafy greens or an injection.
Vitamin K is necessary for proper blood coagulation, so lack of this vitamin can cause excessive bleeding. Osteoporosis and heart problems are also associated with lack of vitamin K.
Protein S deficiency is associated with increased risk for venous thrombosis. This is a clotting disorder involving Vitamin K.
Bacterial flora synthesize B-complex vitamins and some of the vitamin K needed by the liver.
Peas and bananas are both rich in Vitamin K, as are dark green leafy vegetables. Vitamin K aids in clotting, so people on 'blood-thinners' must be careful of their intake of these foods.
Vitamin K in the large intestine is primarily produced by gut bacteria, particularly certain strains of bacteria in the colon, such as Bacteroides and Escherichia coli. These bacteria synthesize vitamin K2 (menaquinone) through fermentation of dietary fibers and other nutrients. This process contributes to the overall vitamin K levels in the body, which is essential for blood clotting and bone health. However, dietary intake of vitamin K from foods like green leafy vegetables is also important for maintaining adequate levels.
