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
The incidence and severity of atherosclerotic vascular disease are increased in diabetic patients, in part because of increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Previously, we found both increased atherosclerosis and arterial protein oxidation 6 months after streptozotocin-induced diabetes in monkeys fed an atherogenic diet, the pattern of which was indicative of redox-active transition metal involvement. The goal of this study was to determine if short-term (1 month) hyperglycemia increases oxidative stress and dysregulates iron metabolism before differences in atherosclerosis. Cynomolgus monkeys with preexisting atherosclerosis were stratified by dietary history and plasma lipids and received either streptozotocin (STZ-DM; n = 10) or vehicle (control; n = 10). One month after diabetes induction, blood and artery samples were collected. There were no differences in plasma lipoprotein cholesterol, arterial cholesterol, and atherosclerosis between control and STZ-DM. However, plasma lipid peroxides were elevated 137% ( P <.01); arterial superoxide was increased 47% ( P <.05); plasma ferritin, an indicator of whole-body iron stores, was 46% higher ( P <.05); and iron deposition within aortic atherosclerotic lesions was more prevalent in STZ-DM compared with controls. Arterial levels of the antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and heme oxygenase-1 were not higher in STZ-DM, although superoxide was higher, suggesting impaired antioxidant response. The increase in ROS before differences in atherosclerosis supports ROS as an initiating event in diabetic vascular disease. Further studies are needed to determine if increases in iron stores and arterial iron deposition promote hydroxyl radical formation from superoxide and accelerate diabetic vascular damage.
