Vitamin K exists in two naturally occurring forms, K1 and K2. It plays an essential role in blood clotting by allowing the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin through γ-carboxyglutamic acid residues on prothrombin that can bind calcium. Vitamin K is a cofactor for the enzyme γ-glutamyl carboxylase, which mediates the carboxylation of glutamate to γ-carboxyglutamate in clotting factors and osteocalcin. Vitamin K deficiency is rare in adults but dangerous in newborns, while the drug warfarin is an antagonist that blocks the activation and recycling of vitamin K to inhibit coagulation and bone mineralization

Introduction
Vitamin K is a group of lipophilic, hydrophobic vitamins that are needed for the posttranslational modification of certain proteins, mostly required for blood coagulation but also involved in metabolism pathways in bone and other tissue. They are 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives. The naturally occurring forms of vitamin K are all fat soluble.
chemistry:
The naturally occurring forms of vitamin K are all fat soluble. They are stored in the liver, though not to any great extent. Stable to heat and reducing agents, they are destroyed by light, acid, alkali, oxidizing agents, and alcohol. Most supplemental forms of chlorophyll, as a vitamin K source, are water soluble. K1: phytonadione or phylloquinone (Aquamephyton): is a natural derivative from fish or plants. K2: menaquinone: fat-soluble form made by intestinal bacteria. K3: menadione: the synthetic water-soluble form tends to have a greater degree of toxicity.
Figure 1: Chemical structures of vitamin K1 (phylloquinone, left structure) and vitamin K2 (menaquinones, right structure).
History
1929 A series of experiments by Dam results in the discovery of vitamin K.
1931 A clotting defect is observed by McFarlane and coworkers.
1935 Dam proposes that the antihaemorrhagic vitamin in chicks is a new fat-soluble vitamin, which he calls vitamin K.
1936 Dam and associates succeed in preparing a crude plasma prothrombin fraction, and demonstrate that its activity is decreased when it is obtained from vitamin K-deficient chick plasma.
1939 Vitamin K1 is synthesised by Doisy and associates.
1940 Brikhous observes haemorrhagic conditions resulting from malabsorption syndromes or starvation, and finds that haemorrhagic disease of the newborn responds to vitamin K.
1943 Dam receives half of the Nobel prize for his discovery of vitamin K, the blood coagulation factor.
1943 Doisy receives half of the Nobel prize for his discovery of the chemical nature of vitamin K.
Absorption, transport, storage and excreation of vitamin k
It appears that up to 80% of dietary vitamin k as phylloquinine and menaquinone is taken up by cells that line the small intestine and is incorporated into chylomicrons. The process requires bile and pancreatic enzymes. The menaquinones synthesized by bacteria in the colon are absorbed, but the amount absorbed is likely provides only 10% of the vitamin k we need. Some vitamins k is stored in the liver and some is incorporated in the lipoproteins VLDL, LDL, and HDL for tranport throughtout the body. Mineral oil and other nonabsorbale lipids interfere with vitamin k absorption. Most vitamink excreation occurs via the bile with a small amount of excreation via the urine.
Functions
1. Vitamin K acts as a cofactor in the final synthesis of proteins with a modified amino acid residue.
This modified glutamic acid residue is found in bone proteins and can bind onto calcium ions to cause calcification.
2. It is also found in the blood and along ve

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

8. Fat versus water soluble
vitamins
Fat-soluble vitamins
• Dissolve in fat
• Require bile acids to be
dissolved and then
absorbed.
• Can be stored in body:
liver, adipose tissue.
• Toxicity is possible.
Water-soluble vitamins
• Dissolve in water.
• Easily absorbed.
• Not stored in large
quantities.
• Execrated via urine.
• Generally non-toxic.
9. Lipid-soluble Vitamins
Common features
﹡nonpolar (hydrophobic) isoprene derivative
﹡poorly soluble in water , but good in fat and fat
solvents
﹡existing with the lipids in food products and
absorbing with the lipids
﹡ specifically binding to lipoprotein and certain
binding-protein in blood and transportation
Stored in liver and body fat and can become toxic if
large amounts are consumed.

11. FORMS OF Vitamin K
K1, phylloquinone
Chloroplasts in plants
K2, menaquinone
Bacterial synthesis
K3, menadione
Synthetic, water soluble form
Complexed to improve stability
12. Vitamin K1
Vitamin K2
Vitamin K
• Vitamin K1(phylloquinon) –
plant origin
• Vitamin K2 (menaquinon) –
normally produced by
bacteria in the large
intestine
• K1 a K2 are used differently
in the body
– K1 – used mainly for blood
clotting
– K2 – important in non-
coagulation actions - as in
metabolism and bone
mineralization, in cell growth,
metabolism of blood vessel
walls cells. Synthetic derivatives of Vit.K
13. • Significant sources
–Bacterial synthesis
in the digestive tract
– Leafy green vegetables,
cabbage-type
vegetables
–Liver
–Milk
– Dietary Recommendation:
• 120 and 90 µg a day for
adult males and females
14. 14
Absorption, Transport and Excretion of
Vitamin K
• Vitamin k is taken in the diet or
synthesized by the intestinal bacteria.
• Absorption and Transportation
– Absorbed in small intestine, via
chylomicrons in lymphatic system.
– Transported via lipoproteins and stored in
the liver
• Excretion
– Primarily bile, small amount urine
15. Vitamin K Dependent Coagulation
• Certain clotting factors/proteins require calcium to
bind for activation
• Calcium can only bind after gamma carboxylation
of specific glutamic acid residues in these proteins
• The reduced form of vitamin K2 (vitamin KH2) acts
as a cofactor for this carboxylation reaction.
• These proteins are known as “Vitamin K
dependent” proteins
16. Vitamin K - function
• Cofactor of liver microsomal carboxylase
which carboxylates glutamate residues to γ-
carboxyglutamate during synthesis of
prothrombin and coagulation factors VII, IX a
X (posttranslation reaction).
• Carboxylated glutamate chelates Ca2+
ions,
permitting the binding of blood clotting
proteins to membranes.
• Forms the binding site for Ca2+
also in other
proteins – osteocalcin.
17. Biochemical functions
Vitamin K act as a Coenzyme for the
carboxylation of glutamic acid residues present in
the proteins and this reaction is catalysed by a
carboxylase (microsomal).
It involves the conversion of glutamate (Glu) to
carboxyglutamate is inhibited by dicumarol
(natural), an anticoagulant.
Warfarin is a synthetic analogue that can inhibit
vitamin K action.
18. Role of Gla in clotting
The –carboxyglutamic acid (Gla ) residues
Of clotting factors are negatively charged (COO) and
they combine with positively charged calcium ions
(Ca2+) to form a complex.
The prothrombin Ca complex binds to the
phospholipids on the membrane surface of the
platelets.
This lead to the increased conversionof prothrombin
to thrombin.
20. Interaction of prothrombin with platelets
1. γ -carboxylates chelate calcium and allow prothrombin to
associate with
membrane phospholipids in platelets
2. conversion to thrombin is stimulated

Ca2+; which is essential for its
activation to Thrombin.
• Abnormal Prothrombin cannot bind
Ca2+; prohibiting the clotting cascade.
26. Why does the body recycle
Vitamin K?
• Very minimal body stores
• Must have regular dietary intake
• Recycles so that the same vitamin K can be
cycled and re-used many times (decreasing
need in dietary intake)
27. Warfarin and Vitamin K
• Warfarin blocks vitamin K recycling
and activation (by inhibiting 2
reductase) therefore, carboxylation of
glutamic acid cannot occur at a normal
rate
• This decreases blood coagulation.
anticoagulant.
• Warfarin is a Vitamin K antagonist.
29. Warfarin Blocks 2 Pathways
(1) Blocks Quinone
Reductase
Vitamin K’s
activation to
Vitamin K
hydroquinone
(2) Blocks Vitamin K-
epoxide reductase
Vitamin K (epoxide)
recycling to Vitamin K
30. Role of Vitamin K in Bone Formation
• Vitamin K is a cofactor for the γ-
carboxylation of osteocalcin, a protein found
in bone tissue
• Osteocalcin is involved in the mineralization
of bone matrix
• γ-carboxylation of Glu residues to Gla gives
each osteocalcin molecule the ability to bind
Ca2+
and form part of the mineralizing bone
matrix
• Non-carboxylated osteocalcin cannot form
bone
• Serum osteocalcin is used as a biochemical
marker of bone formation
32. Vitamin K Deficiency
Results in impaired blood clotting and, potentially,
bleeding.
• Rare in adults
– Newborns – higher risk
Vitamin K deficiency can result from:
• a lack of vitamin k in the diet
• disorders that reduce fat absorption
• Taking certain drugs, including some antibiotics
• Use of coumarin anticoagulants
• Salicylates
• Hepatic insufficiency
33. Vitamin K Deficiency in Infants
Newborns are prone to vitamin K
deficiency because…
1. Vitamin K and lipids are not easily
transported across the placental
barrier
2. Prothrombin synthesis in the liver is
an immature process in newborns,
especially when premature.
3. The neonatal gut is sterile, lacking
the bacteria that is necessary in
menaquinone synthesis.
4. Breast milk is not a good source of
vitamin K
Results in a hemorrhagic disease called
vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB)
34. Vitamin K - Toxicity
• Not common except with over supplementation
– Phylloquinone and menaquinone are relatively
nontoxic
• Jaundice; brain damage
– Menadione toxic to skin and respiratory tract in high
doses
35. SUMMARY SLIDE
• The two naturally-occurring types of Vitamin K are K1 & K2, synthesized by plants and
gastrointestinal bacteria, respectively.
• Vitamin K deficiency is rare in healthy adults but is dangerous in infants where it can
cause hemorrhaging in vital organs such as the brain
• Vitamin K is essential for the synthesis of factors VII, IX, X and for the conversion of
prothrombin to thrombin
• The γ-carboxyglutamic acid on prothrombin can bind Ca2+ allowing for the conversion to
thrombin
• Vitamin K Hydroquinone (active form), is a cofactor of the enzyme γ -glutamyl
carboxylase; leads to carboxylation of Glu to Gla
• The vitamin K is recycled
• Warfarin is a vitamin K antagonist in btoh bone mineralization and coagulation
– Blocks the acitvation and recycling of vitamin K
• Vitamin K is needed for γ-carboxylation of Glu→Gla residues on osteocalcin; Gla binding
Ca2+ helps osteocalcin incorporate into mineralizing bone
Figure 10.23 The vitamin K cycle.
Warfarin is an anticoagulant given to individuals prone to thrombosis (heart attack). It prevents the conversion of vitamin K to its hydroquinone counterpart
Other proteins that are carboxylated are osteocalcin, Bone Gla protein, and matrix Gla protein. Osteocalcin is secreted by osteoblasts during bone matrix formation, about the onset of hydroxyapatite deposition. Osteocalcin comprises about 10-15% of the non-collage protein in bone. Osteocalcin appears to be involved in bone remodeling and/or calcium mobilization. Lack of osteocalcin is associated with increased bone formation.
