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
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common debilitating disease most prevalent among the elderly population worldwide. Excessive degradation of the articular extracellular matrix is a pivotal event in the development of OA. Preventative treatments against the destruction of type II collagen and aggrecan, the two main components of the articular extracellular matrix, may serve as a novel therapy against the progression of OA. In the current study, we investigated whether the DPP-4 inhibitor alogliptin could prevent degradation of the articular extracellular matrix in human primary chondrocytes. Pretreatment with alogliptin successfully prevented degradation of type II collagen and aggrecan in a dose-dependent manner by reducing increased expression of MMP-1, -3, and -13 as well as ADAMTS-4 and -5 induced by treatment with TNF-α. Furthermore, pretreatment with alogliptin also reduced TNF-α-induced expression of IKKα/β, IκBα and NF-κB in human primary chondrocytes. This suggests that DPP-4 inhibitors such as alogliptin may be used as an effective preventative therapy against continued destruction of the articular extracellular matrix in OA.
