Menadione is a metabolite of oral vitamin K.
Phylloquinone is converted into menaquinone-4 and accumulates in extrahepatic tissues. Neither the route nor the function of the conversion is known. One possible metabolic route might be the release of menadione from phylloquinone by catabolic activity. In the present study we explored the presence of menadione in urine and the effect of vitamin K intake on its excretion. Menadione in urine wa...
متن کاملThe Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Vitamin K and Vitamin K Analogues

Much work has been carried out in recent times to elucidate the mechanisms by which these compounds elicit their activity, and a number of proteins that are vitamin K-dependent have been identified in a variet...
