Vitamin K

  • Chapter
Nutrition and the Adult

Part of the book series: Human Nutrition ((HUNU,volume 3B))

Abstract

Vitamin K is a generic term for a homologous group of fat-soluble vitamins consisting of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives. Their absence from the gut of animals and birds causes bleeding due to a coagulation defect of their blood. This coagulation defect is the result of the inadequate synthesis of biologically active prothrombin and certain related vitamin-K-dependent coagulation factors (VII, IX, and X).
