Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Stingless bees live in colonies ranging from hundreds to many thousands of individuals, but studies are scarce regarding resin, like the propolis of Apis mellifera. Several biological activities of propolis and geopropolis produced by meliponines have been described and, in this chapter, we focus on anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities. Understanding the chemical profile of geopropolis and propolis, and the diverse pathways involved in their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects, is challenging. These bee products have been mainly extracted in ethanolic solvents and their anti-inflammatory action is related to immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects. Their compounds have low toxicity in vitro and in vivo for normal cells but display an antimicrobial activity. Geopropolis and propolis compounds may act synergistically to produce immunomodulators and antimicrobials.
