F344/Slc and F344/JCL rats 2 years of age were histologically examined for the incidence and distribution of calcification. In the male rats of both strains, calcification was observed in the testis, lung, brain, kidney, heart, aorta, cornea, prostate and seminal vesicle respectively. In the female F344/JCL rats, calcification appeared in the kidney, lung, cornea, brain, stomach, ovary and heart. Among these of both sexes, the lung was one of the most affected organs for calcification. On the other hand, calcification in the kidney was more severe and frequent in the females than in the males, suggesting that the sex may be one of enhancing factors for calcification.
