Andrea Fuso, PhD, a 15-year analysis collaborator with Gnosis by Lesaffre specializing in cognitive well being, has expanded his space of examine to incorporate Vitamin K2 in neurological assist, publishing a brand new examine highlighting K2’s position in neurological safety.
The examine, printed in Cells, identifies a hyperlink between supplemental K2 and neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation, pointing to K2’s potential position as a complement for assist of wholesome mind and cognitive perform.
Supporting neurological perform with K2
Within the new examine1, Fuso, Affiliate Professor in Scientific Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Division of Experimental Drugs, Sapienza College of Rome, examined K2 as menaquinone-7 (in a decreased kind) together with K2 menaquinone-4 on a mannequin of neuroblastoma cells to find out how types of K2 have an effect on the expression of genes concerned in neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation.
Vitamin K2 administration was discovered to assist neurological perform by making a beneficial steadiness of exercise, lowering the expression of genes related to neurodegeneration (PSEN1 and BACE1) and neuroinflammation (IL-1β and IL-6), whereas concurrently upregulating genes that shield towards amyloid formation (ADAM10 and ADAM17).
Moreover, the crew additionally profiled the DNA methylation patterns of the genes and found a correlation between hypermethylation and the downregulation of PSEN1, IL-1β, and IL-6.
This new mechanistic examine helps earlier work discussing K2’s roles in Alzheimer’s by way of intestine dysbiosis.[2]
Summarising his analysis, Dr Fuso commented: “Our earlier research highlighted the position of B nutritional vitamins and SAMe as dietary elements connecting vitamin with the epigenetic modulation of mind illness. Now, we introduce analysis on a brand new compound essential for cognition: Vitamin K2.”
“Our 15-year collaboration with Dr Fuso and his crew has resulted in a rising physique of proof demonstrating how substances of pure origin [e.g., SAMe and vitamin K2 (as MK-7)] considerably impression the perform of the mind and cognitive exercise.” Says Jean-François Jeanne, Substantiation and Functions Supervisor at Gnosis by Lesaffre.
