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
To elucidate the effects of acetylcholine on the electrical properties of incompletely confluent Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells continuous measurements of the potential difference across the cell membrane (PD) were made with conventional microelectrodes during rapid changes of extracellular fluid composition. During control conditions PD averages −48.9 ± 1.0 mV ( n = 51 ). 1 μmol/l acetylcholine leads to a sustained but reversible hyperpolarization of the cell membrane by −17.9 ± 0.7 mV ( n = 51 ). Half-maximal effect is observed at some 100 nmol/l. 1 μmol/1 atropine does not significantly alter the potential difference across the cell membrane, but abolishes reversibly the hyperpolarizing effect of acetylcholine. Increase of extracellular potassium concentration from 5.4 mmol/l to 20 mmol/l depolarizes the cell membrane by +12.2 ± 1.1 mV ( n = 12 ) in the absence and by +25.7 ± 0.9 mV ( n = 12 ) in the presence of acetylcholine. Within 80 s removal of extracellular calcium leads to a depolarization of the cell membrane by +16.2 ± 3.2 mV ( n = 9 ). In the nominal absence of extracellular calcium acetylcholine leads to a transient hyperpolarization by −13.8 ± 1.8 mV ( n = 9 ), which can be elicited only once. In conclusion, acetylcholine hyperpolarizes the plasma membrane of MDCK cells by calcium-dependent enhancement of potassium conductance.
