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.

Review Description
Prostaglandin H synthase (PHS) catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H 2 in reactions which utilize two activities, a cyclooxygenase and a peroxidase. These enzymatic activities generate enzyme- and substrate-derived free radical intermediates which can oxidize xenobiotics to biologically reactive intermediates. As a consequence, in the presence of arachidonic acid or a peroxide source, PHS can bioactivate many chemical carcinogens to their ultimate mutagenic and carcinogenic forms. In general, PHS-dependent bioactivation is most important in extrahepatic tissues with low monooxygenase activity such as the urinary bladder, renal medulla, skin and lung. Mutagenicity assays are useful in the detection of compounds which are converted to genotoxic metabolites during PHS oxidation. In addition, the oxidation of xenobiotics by PHS often form metabolites or adducts to cellular macromolecules which are specific for peroxidase- or peroxyl radical-dependent reactions. These specific metabolites and/or adducts have served as biological markers of xenobiotic bioactivation by PHS in certain tissues. Evidence is presented which supports a role for PHS in the bioactivation of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic amines, two classes of carcinogens which induce extrahepatic neoplasia. It should be emphasized that the toxicities induced by PHS-dependent bioactivation of xenobiotics are not limited to carcinogenicity. Examples are given which demonstrate a role for PHS in pulmonary toxicity, teratogenicity, nephrotoxicity and myelotoxicity.
