calcification in aragonitic corals by 20 % -60 % (Kleypas et al., 1999; Kleypas and Langdon, 2002; Reynaud et al., 2003; Raven et al., 2005).
The diminishing availability of carbonate ion -LRB--RRB-, and ensuing reduction in calcium carbonate (CaCO3) saturation states are widely reported to reduce
calcification in a wide range [11,12] of, but not all, calcifying organisms [13,14].
Reduced larval
calcification in near - future ocean acidification conditions is also evident for the calcifying larvae of molluscs [87,88].
This has been demonstrated in time - series studies of coral community calcification [17], and reduced

In order to establish a cause - and - effect relationship between acidification and decreased calcification, a team led by Carnegie's Ken Caldeira and including Jacob Silverman (the lead author) and Kenneth Schneider, formerly of Carnegie, compared measurements of the rate of
calcification in one segment of Australia's Great Barrier Reef called Bird Island that were taken in between 1975 and 1979 to those made at the neighboring Lizard Island in 2008 and 2009.
Effect of carbonate ion concentration and irradiance on
calcification in planktonic foraminifera
Decreased
calcification in the Southern Ocean over the satellite record (Geophysical Research Letters)
The decreases in calcification and PIC occur simultaneously with decreases in the observed carbonate ion concentration, suggesting a possible link between acidification and decreasing
calcification in this vulnerable region.
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.
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).
On the other hand the paper reports that increased CO2 had a negative impact on
calcification in 21 cases out of 25 studied positive in 2 and mixed in the remaining 2.

calcification in tissues such as in the kidneys and the urinary bladder.
Helps prevent
calcification in tissues and arteries.
This may explain why beet juice relieves many cases of disease related to
calcification in the body, like:
Vitamin K2 deficiency can disrupt the balance and function that vitamin D and calcium play inside your body (causing inappropriate
calcification in your body if you're deficient in K2) and can lead to arterial
calcification in vegans that ignore this important nutrient.
If there has been bone growth or
calcification in the tendon then treatment can be difficult.
K2 is needed to help calcium and other minerals bind into the bone matrix to strengthen bones (and not to stay in soft tissue where it can cause
calcification in the wrong places).
This same nutrient helps prevent
calcification in other parts of the body (hello arteries).
Human research is still in the early stages, but we know that Vitamin K is needed for the production of MGP (matrix GLA protein), which helps avoid
calcification in the arteries.
This same protein helps stop
calcification in the veins as well since the calcium meant for the bones is ushered into the bones and does not accumulate in veins and arteries.
The study, which evaluated
the calcification in the arteries of Egyptian mummies found high rates of atherosclerosis.
Researchers speculate that when supplemental calcium is taken, it can not all be absorbed and the excess is left circulating in the blood, which can lead to
calcification in the arteries, or is excreted in urine, which may lead to kidney stones.
In the study, called Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA), the researchers looked at 495 men and women who were 35 to 47 years old and free of coronary artery
calcification in 2000 or 2001.

calcification in the eyes of people with glaucoma.
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with coronary artery
calcification in cardiovascularly asymptomatic African Americans with HIV infection.
Conclusions: This is the first evidence of cortical
calcification in patients with an APP mutation other than the Iowa mutation.
Fetal neurosonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have also showed diffuse
calcification in the subcortical parenchyma and thalamic areas, ventriculomegaly, lissencephaly, and pachygyria (ie, smooth brains with reduced gyral ridges).6 Nevertheless, to our knowledge, a systematic follow - up of clinical and morphological features of these cases along with anatomic and pathological descriptions associated with congenital ZIKV infection has not been reported.

Dr Samantha Gibbs, from Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton, who was Dr O'Dea's PhD supervisor and co-author of the study, says: «A key objective was to record
calcification in fossil coccolithophores in a way that enabled direct comparison with measurements from living specimens.
By also examining this genetic region in two other families with similar disorders, the researchers were able to pinpoint a mutation in a specific gene, NT5E, which is involved in breaking down
calcification in the arteries.
The team found that people with kidney stones had more
