Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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.

Article Description
Glutamate was recently found to inhibit the membrane transport of cystine and to impair the function of macrophages and lymphocytes in vitro. Elevated plasma glutamate concentrations in patients with advanced carcinoma were also found to be quantitatively correlated with reduced lymphocyte reactivity in these persons. We now investigated the questions whether glutamate levels in tumor patients would decline to approximately normal levels after tumor resection and, if so, whether this would be correlated with a recovery of lymphocyte reactivity. We report that plasma glutamate levels as well as the concomitantly elevated plasma lactate levels of patients with colorectal carcinoma return to practically normal levels within 1 week after curative surgery. This is accompanied by a rapid recovery of the lymphocyte reactivity against concanavalin A. Lymphocyte responses against pokeweed mitogen and phytohemagglutinin, in contrast, remain impaired for at least 6 months, indicating that elevated glutamate levels in patients with colorectal carcinoma are associated with a long-lasting defect in the immune system. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.
