The Inhibitory Roles of Vitamin K in Progression of Vascular Calcification
Nutrients, 2020 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). Vascular calcification is intimately associated with CV events and mortality and is

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2017 Vascular calcification has now been recognized as a major problem in dialysis patients because of its strong influence on the prognosis. Along with the regulatory failure of calcification-inhibitory system, active phenotypic change of vascular smooth ...

Lessons learnt from progressive vascular calcification in a renal transplant recipient
Indian Journal of Transplantation, 2022 Chronic kidney disease − mineral bone disorder is a common complication in patients with renal failure. Vascular calcification is the part of this clinical syndrome and progresses over the years.

Is there a role for thoracic aortic calcium to fine-tune cardiovascular risk prediction? [PDF]
, 2012 Screening asymptomatic subjects to streamline measures for the prevention of cardiovascular events remains a major challenge. The established primary prevention risk-scoring methods use equations derived from large prospective cohort studies, but further

Scientific Reports, 2020 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) patients undergo early vascular aging often involving extensive VC.

The leading edge of vascular calcification [PDF]
Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015 About two decades ago, when lipids were the focus of atherosclerosis research, calcific vasculopathy (or, more commonly, “vascular calcification”) had been dismissed as a non-biological, unregulated, degenerative phenomenon. Ironically, decades earlier, atherosclerosis itself had been dismissed in the same manner.

Vascular Calcification Mechanisms [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2004 Vascular calcification is highly correlated with cardiovascular disease mortality, especially in patients with ESRD or diabetes. In addition to the devastating effects of inappropriate biomineralization seen in cardiac valvulopathies, calciphylaxis, and idiopathic arterial calcification, vascular calcification is now recognized as a marker of ...

Liver kinase B1 inhibits smooth muscle calcification via high mobility group box 1
Redox Biology, 2021 Vascular calcification is a common pathological feature of atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, vascular injury, and aging. Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) plays pivotal roles in cellular processes such as apoptosis, metabolism, and cell cycle regulation.
