Vitamin K plays a crucial role in the activation of both pro & anti-clotting factors in the liver, prevent elastic fiber degradation, possibly prevent comorbidities. THREAD Article source: https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-
1. Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent inhibitor of soft tissue calcification & elastic fiber degradation. Severe extrahepatic vitamin K insufficiency is recently demonstrated in COVID-19 pts, w/high inactive MGP levels correlating w/elastic fiber degradation rates.
MGP Protects against elastic fiber degradation that provides deformability to the lungs & arteries, which facilitates respiration & circulation. The balance between elastic fiber degradation & repair is of vital importance in cardiac & pulmonary health.

How does #VitaminD prevent complications in severely affected #COVID19 patients (approx. 20% of hospitalized patients develop serious symptoms) by managing the cytokine/bradykinin storm, ARDS, and organ damage? Thread
1. Cytokine Storm:

a. Vitamin D decreases the production of Th1 cells. Thus, it can suppress the progression of inflammation through reducing the generation of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, and IL-17.
