[Role of vitamin K in glycoprotein metabolism].

The content of hexos-amines and proteins in glycoproteins (perchloric acid-soluble) of the liver and blood serum of rats following an excess administration of vitamin K (vikasol) and its antagonists--pelenten and large doses of sodium salicylate for a space of 15 days was studied. With hypovitaminosis K the content of glycoproteins in the liver and blood serum declines, while the ratio of the proteins and hexose-amines-- goes up. With its simultaneous administration with pelentan vikasol prevents the development of these changes.
