Summary

Prenatal maternal vitamin K₁ supplementation to improve the hemostatic status of the fetus may depend upon the route of administration and subsequent presentation at the placental barrier. We investigated intramuscular (IM) vs oral (PO) vitamin K₁ supplementation in eight healthy, nonpregnant women of childbearing age. Pharmacokinetics were studied in each subject after a 5 mg IM dose and after a 5 mg oral dose of vitamin K₁ approximately one month later. Plasma collected at the peak vitamin K level for each treatment was separated into very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and lipoprotein-free fractions by density gradient ultracentrifugation. Vitamin K₁ was measured in the plasma and lipoprotein fractions using HPLC. The concentration of vitamin K₁, in plasma reached a peak 2 h after an IM dose and remained high throughout the 30 h course of the study. In contrast, the oral dose of vitamin K₁ peaked at 4 h and rapidly decreased to near baseline by 18 to 30 h. The distribution of vitamin K₁ in the lipid fractions was different for IM compared to PO. The percentage of vitamin K₁ in the VLDL fraction at the peak for an oral dose was significantly higher than for an IM dose (80.8% ± 3.5 vs 10.8% ± 6.5, p <0.0001). After the oral absorption stage, the subjects took 5 mg of vitamin K₁ orally, once a day, for 12 days. No significant differences were observed for the following coagulation proteins and hemostatic markers measured immediately before and after long-term oral vitamin K supplementation: factor II, factor VII, protein C, and thrombin-antithrombin III complex. In conclusion, physiological processing of supplemented vitamin K₁ differs in the IM vs PO routes of administration and 12 days of oral vitamin K₁does not alter the concentration of selected vitamin Independent coagulation proteins or thrombin-antithrombin complex generation
