An enhanced version of vitamin K<\/a> could help reverse brain damage from Alzheimer\u2019s disease, a study has found.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s and many other neurodegenerative diseases are marked by a loss of brain neurons. While most medications<\/a> treat only the symptoms, researchers from the Department of Bioscience and Engineering at Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan set out to determine whether a new approach could replace the lost cells.<\/p>\n

Vitamin K is an essential nutrient that aids with blood clotting, bone health and other important functions in the body, according to the National Institutes of Health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SIMPLE DIET CHANGE MAY SUPPORT GUT HEALING FOR CANCER SURVIVORS, RESEARCHERS SAY<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

While it has been shown to support brain protection and neuron creation, the natural forms of vitamin K \u2014 including menaquinone-4 (MK-4) \u2014 might not be powerful enough to effectively treat neurodegenerative diseases<\/a>, experts say.<\/p>\n

To boost its potency, researchers from the Department of Bioscience and Engineering at Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan developed new, stronger forms of the vitamin.<\/p>\n

They did this by creating 12 new versions of vitamin K and combining it with retinoic acid, an active metabolite of vitamin A that helps brain cells grow and develop.<\/p>\n

In lab tests, the new lab-made versions of vitamin K were about three times more effective than natural vitamin K at helping immature brain cells develop into neurons, according to study co-lead Associate Professor Yoshihisa Hirota.<\/p>\n

The new vitamin K compound was also shown to successfully cross the blood-brain barrier<\/a> in animal tests.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another important benefit, the researchers noted, is that the new molecules retained the same benefits of vitamin K and vitamin A while showing stronger brain-cell activity.<\/p>\n

The findings were published in the journal ACS Chemical Neuroscience.<\/p>\n

“Since neuronal loss is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/a>, these analogues may serve as regenerative agents that help replenish lost neurons and restore brain function,” Hirota said in a press release.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, the research team plans to test the new compounds in animal and human studies<\/a>, in hopes that this could lead to a new approach for slowing or repairing brain degeneration for patients with neurodegenerative diseases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“A vitamin K-derived drug that slows the progression of Alzheimer\u2019s disease or improves its symptoms could not only improve the quality of life for patients and their families, but also significantly reduce the growing societal burden of healthcare expenditures<\/a> and long-term caregiving,” Hirota added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
