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
Dispersed acini isolated by collagenase digestion of the rat submandibular gland were used to compare the effects of amiloride and furosemide on the uptake of the isotopic tracer 22 Na and on the binding of [ 3 H]quinuclidinyl benzylate ([ 3 H]QNB). In mM concentrations, both inhibitors reduced 22 Na uptake in resting cells 34 and 25–29%, respectively. Acetylcholine (1 μM) enhanced uptake 23% and this effect was reduced 45% by amiloride and 26% by furosemide. Amiloride inhibited the binding of [ 3 H]QNB to crude membranes prepared from fresh submanidubular glands in a dose-dependent fashion (IC 50 =8×10 −6 M). Furosemide (3×10 −8 to 10 −3 M) did not inhibit radioligand binding. Na influx into resting salivary acini thus appears to occur by both amiloride-sensitive and furosemide-sensitive transport systems. The similar inhibition by furosemide of unstimulated and stimulated uptake of 22 Na suggests that acetylcholine does not significantly activate the cotransport system within the time frame (i.e., 2 min) of the experiments. Acetylcholine appears to activate an amiloride-sensitive Na/H antiport, but amiloride blocks cholinergic receptors and may thus affect Na transport by receptor blockade. Other actions of amiloride, such as its ability to penetrate into cells and to act as a weak base which alters intracellular pH, may also contribute to the inhibition of Na entry into salivary cells.
