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
In a study of the relationship of the tetrahydroisoquinolinecarboxylic acids (TIQCAs) to catecholamine metabolism, we have investigated their effects on cultured rat adrenal medulla explants. Medullae were incubated in medium containing norlaudanosolinecarboxylic acid (NLCA) or 3′,4′-deoxynorlaudanosolinecarboxylic acid (DNLCA) (0.5 mM) in the presence and absence of [ 3 H]tyrosine. By paired-ion reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography, tissue epinephrine (EPI), norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA) and TIQCA were resolved. Endogenous concentrations were measured with electrochemical detection, and radioactivity was assayed by collecting appropriate effluents. Tissue levels of the TIQCAs reached saturating levels of 0.36 mM by about 20 hr. DNLCA elicited a significant decrease (60%) in endogenous DA, NE and EPI at 40 hr, whereas only DA was depressed at 30 hr. NLCA had little effect after 30 or 40 hr. When tissues were maintained in the presence of α-methyltyrosine (0.5 mM) for 40 hr, catecholamine levels were depressed to an extent similar to that observed with DNLCA. Incubation with [ 3 H]tyrosine in the presence of TIQCAs revealed inhibition of tyrosine uptake and suggested a reduction in the rate of catecholamine synthesis. These results are consistent with previous data on the inhibition of tyrosine 3-monooxygenase by DNLCA in vitro.
