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
The present study described a co-culture of Monascus purpureus and Monascus ruber fermented with rice that produced a high yield of lovastatin (1.2 mg/g) and less toxicity of citrinin (0.09 µg /g) and the rice is named red fermented rice (RFR). Then, it was investigated in an animal model with an induced high-fat diet (HDF). For animal study, five different groups (G1-G5) were chosen, the effect of RFR in blood serum was investigated by hematological analysis, and adipose and liver tissues were studied by histopathological examinations. Low and high concentration of RFR in G3 and G4 showed significant differences in hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), and platelets in hematological analysis. Histopathological studies on adipose and liver tissues revealed substantial changes in G3 and G4 rats. Despite using a standard drug for comparison, G4 showed significant results compared to G3. The study concludes that the RFR successfully reduced the cholesterol level in the blood, which could maintain liver enzyme function. Moreover, histopathological examinations revealed the repair of adipose and liver tissue.
