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
We have investigated how n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs) in the diet affect fatty acid (FA) utilization, fat storage and oxidative stress (OS) in Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) white adipose tissue (WAT). Four groups of Atlantic salmon were fed for 21 weeks on one of the four diets supplemented with 23% (of dry matter) lipid. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3) levels increased from 10% of total FAs in the rapeseed oil (RO) diet, to 20% in the fish oil (FO) diet, and to 50% and 55% in the DHA-enriched and EPA-enriched diets, respectively. Increased dietary levels of n-3 HUFAs resulted in lower fat percentage in WAT. Furthermore, mitochondrial FA β-oxidation activity was higher in the FO group than it was in the RO group. The relative levels of DHA and EPA in phospholipids (PLs) from WAT and mitochondrial membranes increased with the increasing dietary levels of these HUFAs. In general, the mitochondrial membrane PLs were characterised by lower relative levels of n-3 HUFAs and higher relative levels of linoleic acid (LA; 18:2 n-6) than WAT membrane PLs. The predominance of LA relative to n-3 HUFAs in mitochondrial membrane PLs may help to protect these PLs from peroxidation. Cytochrome c oxidase measurements revealed higher incidence of disrupted mitochondrial membranes in the DHA and EPA dietary groups than in the FO and RO dietary groups. This disruption further affected the mitochondrial function, resulting in a marked reduction in FA β-oxidation capacities. The reduction in mitochondrial function and the increase in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the DHA and EPA groups showed that high dietary dose of DHA and EPA resulted in oxidative stress (OS). The increased activity of caspase 3 in the high n-3 HUFA groups suggested the induction of apoptosis and increased incidence of cell death in WAT, which may be one of the factors explaining the lower fat percentage found in these groups.
