Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our aim was to determine the quantitative effects of a single-dose of Nattokinase (NK) administration on coagulation/fibrinolysis parameters comprehensively in healthy male subjects. A double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over NK intervention study was carried out in 15 healthy young males. Following the baseline blood draw, each subject was randomized to receive either a single-dose of 2,000 FU NK or placebo with subsequent cross-over of the groups. Subjects donated blood samples at 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours following administration. As a result, D-dimer concentrations and blood fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products after NK administration elevated significantly. Factor VIII activity declined, blood antithrombin concentration was higher, and the activated partial thromboplastin time prolonged significantly following NK administration. In conclusion, thus, a single-dose of NK administration appears enhancing fibrinolysis and anti-coagulation via several different pathways simultaneously.
