What's the difference between acidification and acidifying?
Acidification
Definition:
(n.) The act or process of acidifying, or changing into an acid.
Example Sentences:

(2) Truncal vagotomy resulted in a significant decrease of gastric acid response to the meal at all pH levels or at all doses of secretin but the inhibitory effect of gastric acidification or secretin on serum gastrin and gastric acid response to a meal remained unchanged.
(3) Histamine-stimulated acid output was determined before and during duodenal acidification.
(4) Serum SIRS-inducing activity was abrogated by treatment with proteinase K or boiling, but was not affected by dialysis, acidification to pH 2, or heating to 56 degrees C. This serum factor could be distinguished functionally and antigenically from SIRS and from interferon (IFN) alpha or IFN gamma.

(12) The effect of lithium chloride administration on urinary acidification was studied in dogs.
(13) When the endosomes were incubated in a chloride-containing buffer, degradation was greatly inhibited, and acidification did not occur.
(14) Acute acid loading stimulates endogenous PTH secretion, which, by enhancing urinary acidification, constitutes a homeostatic response of the parathyroid glands.
(15) Acidification is therefore necessary to establish the probability of translocation, but it is not directly involved in the actual translocation of these toxins.
(16) The pathophysiological mechanism of production appears to be the accumulation of acid ions caused by pH acidification of the cerebrospinal fluid.
(17) These results indicate that the candidacidal activity of gamma interferon-activated PMPs correlates well with enhanced acidification of their phagolysosomes and suggest that the candidacidal activity of activated PMPs is independent from reactive oxygen molecules and is mediated by proteinaceous substance(s) generated only in a strong acidic milieu of phagolysosomes by activation.
(18) Acidification of a meal stimulates somatostatin release in dogs.
(19) The acidification did not interfere in leukocyte migration under agar.
(20) Gastrin I did not significantly increase pyloric pressure but did antagonize the pyloric response to duodenal acidification.
Acidifying
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Acidify
Example Sentences:
(1) All rats were examined in the conscious, unrestrained state 12 wk after induction of diabetes or acidified saline (pH 4.5) injection.
(2) they are shown to inhibit in vitro the release of iron from acidified host cell cytosol, consisting mostly of hemoglobin, a process that could provide this trace element to the parasite.
(3) This report describes the partial purification of an HMW renin from hog kidney extracts which had previously been acidified to pH 2.5.
(4) Hydrogen peroxide (1 mM) acidified pHi but no change occurred with 50 microM.
(5) One group of 6 cats was fed a basal, naturally acidifying diet without added acidifiers, and another group of 6 cats was fed 1.7% dietary phosphoric acid.
(6) The heat-deproteinated extract is acidified to pH 3.5-4 and directly analyzed by LC.
(7) Despite physiological differences, acidified milk replacer can be used successfully to raise Angora kids.
(8) The mean gastric pH of the acidified group was 3.2 compared with the group receiving regular feedings into the stomach (pH = 4.7) and the group receiving regular feedings into the duodenum (pH = 3.8) (p < .01).
(9) Aliquots of 24-h urine collections are acidified and applied to columns of Dowex 50W cation-exchange resin.
(10) Acidified Maalox 70 and Al(OH)3 were significantly more potent than unmodified agents against all four tested types of acute mucosal lesions, and this action was probably due to their 'mild irritant' effect as evidenced by extensive exfoliation of the surface epithelial cells observed microscopically after the exposure of the mucosa to these agents.
(11) Studies using a gastric chamber model demonstrated that sucralfate protected the rat gastric mucosa against hemorrhagic erosions induced by 40 percent ethanol and by acidified 80 mM sodium taurocholate.
(12) Samples are extracted with acidic chloroform, filtered through pre-acidified Hy-Flo Supercel, and cleaned up by acid-base partitioning.
(13) However, an important inhibitory effect in the most acidified fibres, cannot be excluded.
