We examined how nattokinase affects the progression of atherosclerosis and related biomarkers in a double-blind trial involving 265 participants averaging 65 years old, who had no cardiovascular disease. Participants received either nattokinase or a placebo for three years.
Our findings revealed that nattokinase had no significant effect on subclinical atherosclerosis progression, blood pressure, or other laboratory measures. This indicates that nattokinase may not provide the anticipated cardiovascular benefits in healthy individuals at low risk for heart disease.

We explored how nattokinase (NK), a strong clot-buster, can be delivered effectively using NK-conjugated magnetite nanoparticles (NK-MNPs). These nanoparticles were designed to release NK directly at the site of a thrombus and showed promising results in sustained release and thrombolytic potential.
After encapsulating NK, the nanoparticles demonstrated a successful release rate and maintained their efficacy even after storage. However, while the findings are encouraging, they suggest that NK-MNPs may not be a definitive solution but instead a promising avenue for further research into treating thrombus-related diseases.

We explored an innovative approach to treating blood clots using specially designed magnetic nanorobots that deliver nattokinase directly to targeted areas. These tiny robots are not only able to navigate through blood vessels but also use a combination of magnetic fields to break down clots effectively.
In a study involving thrombotic mice, these nattokinase-loaded nanorobots showed an impressive vasculature recanalization rate of 81%. This dual approach of mechanical damage and heat-triggered nattokinase release represents a significant advancement in noninvasive thrombolytic therapy.

We examined how a new treatment combining nattokinase with manganese oxide nanozymes might help with acute myocardial infarction, a serious heart condition often caused by blood clots.
Our study revealed that administering this innovative combination through injection significantly improved blood vessel function and decreased heart damage in mice.
The results suggest that these nattokinase-loaded nanozymes could offer a promising strategy to tackle heart attacks effectively, particularly through their antioxidant and thrombolytic properties.

We explored the effectiveness of a specific strain of Bacillus subtilis in producing nattokinase to enhance fermented milk's health benefits. This probiotic contributed to significant thrombolytic activity, which helps prevent blood clots, a major factor in cardiovascular disease.
Our study demonstrated that fermented milk from B. subtilis could inhibit thrombosis in mice, indicating a promising way to integrate healthy options in our diets. Notably, sensory evaluations revealed that this functional fermented milk was well-accepted, similar to traditional options.
Overall, our findings highlight the potential of B. subtilis JNFE0126-fermented milk as a delicious, healthful alternative that may help reduce cardiovascular risks.

Nattokinase-enhanced nanocomposites for thrombolysis
We explored the potential of nattokinase, a promising thrombolytic agent, by creating stable nanocomposites using polylysine dendrimers. Through innovative methods, we ensured that nattokinase was effectively protected from environmental factors, enhancing its stability and activity.
When combined at a 1:30 molar ratio, these nanocomposites demonstrated a remarkable thrombolysis rate, effectively targeting blood clots while minimizing risk of complications. This research indicates that these nanostructures could pave the way for safer and more effective thrombolytic therapies.

In our exploration of nattokinase, we examined its effectiveness and safety in patients undergoing vascular surgery.
The study included 153 patients dealing with various vascular issues, and we discovered that nattokinase significantly improved clinical symptoms without serious side effects.
Importantly, no new vascular disease cases appeared during follow-ups, suggesting that nattokinase may be both a preventive and therapeutic option worth considering for these patients.

We investigated the effectiveness of nattokinase in managing carotid artery atherosclerosis and blood lipids over a 26-week treatment with 82 patients in two groups: one receiving nattokinase and the other statins. Both groups showed reductions in carotid plaque size and artery thickness, with the nattokinase group experiencing notably larger reductions.
While both treatments improved lipid profiles, the statin group saw more significant cholesterol reductions. Notably, nattokinase increased HDL levels, showing promise as a potential alternative to statins in managing atherosclerosis, though its effects appear unrelated to lipid changes.
