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
Isolated hepatocytes are useful for studying the metabolism and mechanisms of hepatic toxicity of foreign chemicals. A problem with using human hepatocytes is the limited and irregular availability of normal human liver. Cryopreservation could provide a useful way of storing hepatocytes until they are needed. As a preliminary step to using human hepatocytes we have compared the toxic response to chemical toxicants of primary cultures of fresh rat hepatocytes and rat hepatocytes cryopreserved as previously described ( G. Powis, K. S. Santone, D. C. Melder, L. Thomas, D. J. Moore, and T. J. Wilke, 1987. Drug Metab. Dispos. 15, 826). After 24 hr in culture the cryopreserved hepatocytes had a plating efficiency 75% that of noncryopreserved hepatocytes. The cultured cryopreserved hepatocytes showed a small increase in spontaneous lactate dehydrogenase release compared to that of cultured noncryopreserved hepatocytes. A similar toxic chemical-induced increase in lactate dehydrogenase release occurred in the cultured cryopreserved as in the noncryopreserved hepatocytes. The 50% effective concentrations (EC50) for lactate dehydrogenase release (±SE, n = 3 preparations) from cultured cryopreserved and noncryopreserved hepatocytes for chlorpromazine were 235 ± 20 and 215 ± 30 μ m, for cadmium chloride 200 ± 5 and 272 ± 23 μ m, and for menadione (2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone) 24 ± 7 and 44 ± 8 μ m, respectively. The EC50 values for intracellular glutathione depletion in cultured cryopreserved and noncryopreserved hepatocytes were for chlopromazine 200 ± 8 and 235 ± 8 μ m, for cadmium chloride 242 ± 19 and 213 ± 7 μ m, and for menadione 22 ± 2 and 21 ± 3 μ m, respectively. The results show that cryopreservation offers a practical way of storing rat hepatocytes for studies of chemical toxicity.
