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
Oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins (LDL) has been implicated in the sequence of events leading to fatty streak formation in the arterial intima. Increased oxidative modifications of dense versus bouyant LDL particles could contribute to increased atherosclerosis associated with lipoprotein profiles enriched in small, dense LDL. In the present studies, we compared rates of copper-induced oxidative changes for six LDL subfractions ranging in density from 1.023 to 1.053 g/ml and mean particle diameter from 282 ± 10 to 245 ± 3. Rates of formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), as indicated by the time required for half-maximal TBARS formation ( T12max ), decreased with increasing density and decreasing particle diameter to a minimum in fraction 5 ( d = 1.046 g/ml, diameter = 250 ± 5) ( P = 0.007). In parallel studies using unfractionated LDL ( d = 1.019–1.063 g/ml), T12max values were inversely correlated with the predominant LDL species diameter as determined by 2–16% gradient gel electrophoresis ( P < 0.05), consistent with the involvement of subclass composition of subclass composition in determining oxidative behavior. In separate experiments, subfraction differences in oxidation rates as assessed by TBARS formation were verified by the finding of similarly disparate changes in fluorescence intensity and anionic electrophoretic mobility. T12max values were not related to LDL contents of alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, protein, triglycerides or phospholipids, but were significantly correlated with unesterified cholesterol content ( r = 0.46; P < 0.001) and were inversely associated with cholesterol ester content ( r = 0.28; P < 0.05). The positive association of T12max with unesterified cholesterol suggests that this constituent may impart resistance to oxidative modification, possibly by altering properties of the surface monolayer where it resides.
