Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Vitamin K is the micronutrient which is essential for blood coagulation system and bone metabolism in animals. The distribution of vitamin K is not only restricted in liver and bone, but also other organs including brain, gonadal tissues and pancreas. However, the functions of vitamin K in those tissues are remaining to be clarified. In this study, we analyzed the effect of vitamin K on insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. Vitamin K enhanced glucose dependent insulin secretion via the up-regulation of intracellular cAMP. Our results suggested that vitamin K regulates insulin secretion in pancreas.
