Ocean acidification may increase calcification rates, but at a cost.

Matrix Gla - protein (MGP) helps to prevent vascular calcification by pulling calcium out of soft tissues, while activated osteocalcin pulls calcium back into the bones and teeth.

It has been established in the scientific literature that vitamin D, vitamin K2, and calcium work together in a very specific synergistic way inside your body that allows your body to properly utilize calcium in the right tissues (in your bones as an example), and avoid sending calcium to the wrong tissues, such as calcification of soft tissues in the body like your joints and arteries as examples.

A numerical model system was developed and applied to simulate air - sea fluxes of CO2 and coral reef calcification in the Indonesian Seas and adjacent ocean basin for the period 1960 — 2014 on a fine resolution grid (ca. 11 km) in order to study their response to rising sea water temperatures and CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere.

Most laboratory studies suggest that higher carbon dioxide concentration leads to decreased calcification in coccolithophores, the tiny phytoplankton that contribute to the base of Southern Ocean food webs.

This is also my favorite vitamin D3 and K2 mixture, as it's important to get enough vitamin K2 if you're supplementing with D3, as the K2 makes sure your body uses calcium properly to help prevent inappropriate calcification of arteries, joints, etc..

The relationship between lactation history and aortic calcification persisted even after additional adjustment for known risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose.

In some cases, the heart valve is just thickened, but in others, it can harden by a process called calcification that is similar to that when bone is made.

Dr Sarah O'Dea, from Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton and lead author of the study, says: «Our results show that climate change significantly altered coccolithophore calcification rates at the PETM and has the potential to be just as significant, perhaps even more so, today.

First biologically controlled calcification does NOT depend on, or directly utilize seawater carbonate ions.

Groups with elevated or increasing blood pressure were at the highest risk for developing calcification of coronary arteries.

While earlier studies mainly focused on understanding calcification under acidified conditions, other vital processes, such as digestion and gastric pH regulation, were neglected», says Meike Stumpp.

«Now that we understand how calcification occurs, we hope to learn how to prevent it and then extend this knowledge to other forms of cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis.

Emerging evidence for variability in the coral calcification response to acidification, geographical variation in bleaching susceptibility and recovery, responses to past climate change, and potential rates of adaptation to rapid warming supports an alternative scenario in which reef degradation occurs with greater temporal and spatial heterogeneity than current projections suggest.

For example, the resulting changes in ocean salinity and pH can inhibit calcification in shell - bearing organisms that are either habitat - forming (e.g., coral reefs, oyster reefs) or the foundation of food webs (e.g., plankton)(The Copenhagen Diagnosis 2009).

If calcification does not occur properly the cartilage becomes thickened and prevents joint fluid from reaching the other cartilage cells underneath.

Reduced food supply owing to lower POC fluxes could exacerbate these impacts because the metabolic cost of increased rates of calcification become greater as pH declines (Wood et al., 2008).

In addition, they state that there was «no significant correlation between calcification rate and seawater aragonite saturation (Ωarag)» and «no evidence of CO2 impact on bleaching.»
