Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests neuroprotective functions of vitamin K and/or vitamin K-dependent proteins. We investigated the effect of dietary vitamin K on retina aging (thinning). Female Sprague-Dawley rats were maintained from weaning on low (80 microg kg(-1) diet), adequate (500 microg kg(-1) diet) or high (2000 microg kg(-1) diet) levels of vitamin K1 (phylloquinone). Relative concentrations of brain vitamin K associated with these diets were 1: 3.3: 25 (K1) and 1: 2.7: 9.0 (menaquinone-4). Histomorphometry of old (21 month) rats revealed positive associations between vitamin K and thickness of retina layers, especially in the equatorial/peripheral retina. No association of diet and retina thickness was detected among young (6 month) animals. The sparing effect of vitamin K in the retina was most evident in the inner plexiform layer and in the photoreceptor inner and outer segments. Surprisingly, we observed no effect of vitamin K on the age-dependent loss of photoreceptor cells, interneurons or ganglion cells. These data suggest a role for vitamin K in maintaining the aging retina and suggest that the sparing effect of vitamin K does not reflect the survival-promoting (anti-apoptotic) activities of vitamin K-dependent proteins.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
