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.

Article Description
The study evaluated the antidiabetic potentials of green-synthesized iron oxide (FeO) nanoparticles using stem extract of Securidaca longipedunculata. FeO nanoparticles were synthesized via green route and characterized using different analytical tools. Diabetes was induced in albino Wister rats by a single dose intraperitoneal injection of 90 mg/kg bodyweight of alloxan monohydrate and treated for 21 days. Lipid profiles, biochemical parameters and histopathological study of the liver and kidney were also examined. The characterization results confirmed formation of spherical, hematite phase of iron oxide with crystallite size of 4.07 nm and maximum wavelength of 372.27 nm. There was a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in blood glucose level of the diabetic rats from 409.50 ± 5.50 to 199.1550 ± 9.33 mg/dL in FeO nanoparticle group compared to the diabetic and extract control groups. Group treated with FeO nanoparticle shows an increase in bodyweight throughout the treatment period and is significantly different (p < 0.05) with the other groups. There is a significant difference (p < 0.05) in serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine phosphatase (ALP) of the FeO nanoparticles treated group with Glibenclamide and diabetic control group. The histopathology of the liver and kidney shows normal histoarchitecture with no features of acute or chronic damage in all groups. The green-synthesized FeO nanoparticles have the potential of treating hyperglycemia and could serve as drug lead in the treatment of diabetes.
