Treatment with high dosages of Vitamin K completely inhibited the effect of Warfarin on blood coagulation but had essentially no ability to counteract the effect of Warfarin on the .gamma.-carboxylation of bone Gla protein (BGP; osteocalcin). Provided that rats received the appropriate dosage of Vitamin K prior to and concurrent with the administration of Warfarin, daily dosages as high as 7.7 mg Warfarin per 100 g body weight had no effect on blood coagulation times. This Warfarin dosage is approximately 150 times higher than the 50 .mu.g per 100 g body weight which caused coagulation times to double in rats which did not receive Vitamin K. In dramatic contrast, the dosage of Warfarin required to reduce the .gamma.-carboxylation status of BGP to one-half normal, 30 .mu.g per 100 g body weight, was essentially unaffected by Vitamin K treatment. These results indicate the existence of a major difference between the metabolism of Vitamin K by the hepatocytes which synthesize coagulation factors and the osteoblasts which synthesize BGP. The practical consequence of this difference is that it is now possible to antagonize the action of Vitamin K in osteoblasts, as well as in other cells which have the same Vitamin K metabolism, without affecting blood coagulation times.
