"
4.	Vitamin K FDA Link 05/01/2013 - "In certain patients, even at low vascular risk, a medial calcific sclerosis can appear under long-term anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists. " 05/01/2013 - "[Medial calcific sclerosis under long-term anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists]." 05/01/2013 - "We conclude that vitamin K antagonists inhibit several proteins which protect the vessels from calcification leading to medial calcific sclerosis."
5.	Proteins (Proteins, Gene)IBA 05/01/2013 - "We conclude that vitamin K antagonists inhibit several proteins which protect the vessels from calcification leading to medial calcific sclerosis."
