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
Chronic exposure to high concentrations of inorganic arsenic (NaAsO 2 ) in drinking water is related to an increase in the risk of liver toxicity and diabetes. Diosmin has various pharmacological properties, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of diosmin on diabetes and hepatotoxicity caused by NaAsO 2. Sixty male 8-week-old NMRI mice, weighing 25 ± 2 g, were randomly selected and put into six groups. The control (Group 1) was treated orally with distilled water, group 2 was treated with diosmin (100 mg/kg, p.o), group 3 received NaAsO 2 (10 mg/kg, p.o), and groups 4, 5, 6 received diosmin (25, 50, 100 mg/kg, p.o), respectively and NaAsO 2 (10 mg/kg, p.o). After 29 days, fasting blood sugar (FBS) measurement and glucose tolerance test were done. The mice were sacrificed on day 31, and blood and tissue (liver and pancreas) samples were taken. Then, serum and tissue samples were studied for biochemical and histological evaluations. The results demonstrated that diosmin ameliorated glucose intolerance and decreased FBS compared to the NaAsO 2 group. Diosmin (50 and 100 mg/kg) improved the serum factors of liver function (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate transaminase, and alkaline phosphatase) in the groups receiving NaAsO 2. Moreover, increased levels of nitric oxide, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in liver tissue induced by NaAsO 2 were diminished by diosmin treatment. Administration of diosmin increased total thiol and enzymatic activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase in liver tissue. Furthermore, treatment with diosmin reduced the increase in protein amount of Sirtuin 3 and nuclear factor kappa B in the groups receiving NaAsO 2. Also, the liver and pancreas histological lesions induced by NaAsO 2 were attenuated by diosmin treatment. Diosmin has a preventive effect against hepatotoxicity and diabetes induced by NaAsO 2 in mice through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
