Article Synopsis
- Vitamin K (VK) has a protective effect on neural cells and may inhibit the neurotoxicity caused by the neurotoxin methylmercury.
- In a study using cultured neurons from rat pups, VKs (specifically phylloquinone and menaquinone-4) were found to prevent neuronal death caused by methylmercury exposure.
- The research indicates that VKs protect neurons from both methylmercury-induced toxicity and cell death due to glutathione depletion, potentially paving the way for new treatments for neural diseases related to glutathione levels.
