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
Exposure to high altitude leads to numerous adaptive and maladaptive responses in our body which accentuates a decline in the physical performance. Skeletal muscle atrophy is a well-reported phenomenon during prolonged stays at high altitudes. Hypobaric hypoxia, the major stressor at high altitudes, disturbs the redox homeostasis and activates a plethora of intracellular signaling pathways, including ER stress, altered anabolic pathways, disturbed calcium homeostasis, enhanced protein degradation, and apoptosis in the skeletal muscle. Our recent research has elucidated the multiple signaling pathways responsible for high altitude-induced skeletal muscle atrophy. Understanding the key mechanisms of the atrophic phenomena paves the way for the development of strategies and interventions to ameliorate this protein loss. Dietary phytochemicals and nutraceuticals are gaining attraction for the amelioration of skeletal muscle atrophy and enhancing physical performance. The present chapter described a few phytochemicals that not merely ameliorate skeletal muscle protein loss but also manage active lifestyles under stressful conditions.
