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
Specimens of the seawater fish annular seabream ( Diplodus annularis ) were caught from a polluted harbor area and from a clean reference area. Seawater concentrates and fish-muscle extracts were not mutagenic in the Salmonella reversion test. Liver preparations of fish from the 2 sources were comparatively assayed for microsomal mixed-function oxidases and cytosolic biochemical parameters, as well as for the ability of S12 fractions to activate promutagens or to detoxify direct-acting mutagens. A shift of the cytochrome P-450 peak from 450.3 to 448.5 was accompanied by a 4.5-fold increase in arylhydrocarbon hydroxylase activity in fish living in the polluted environment. At the same time, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were doubled in the cytosol of the same animals, while reduced glutathione (GSH) peroxidase and GSH S -transferase were slightly yet significantly depressed. No significant difference was recorded for other biochemical parameters, including GSH, oxidized glutathione (GSSG) reductase, NADH- and NADPH-dependent diaphorases, and DT diaphorase. In parallel, fish exposed to polluted seawater exhibited a significant and marked enhancement of the metabolic activation of the pyrolysis product Trp-P-2 and of benzo[ a ]pyrene-trans-7,8-diol, and at the same time were less efficient in detoxifying the antitumor compound ICR 191. Liver S12 fractions from both sources efficiently decreased the direct mutagenicity of sodium dichromate, and failed to activate benzo[ a ]pyrene and aflatoxin B 1 to mutagenic metabolites. These results provide evidence that both biochemical parameters and the overall capacity of fish liver to activate or detoxify certain mutagens can be assumed to be sensitive indicators of exposure to mixed organic pollutants in the marine environment.
