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
Male Wistar rats were exposed to 0.2 and 0.4 ppm O 3 for 4, 8, and 12 weeks and to 0.1 and 0.2 ppm O 3 for 4 weeks to examine the effects of prolonged exposure to O 3 on the xenobiotic metabolizing systems in the lung. Exposures to 0.2 and 0.4 ppm O 3 caused a significant increase in the NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase activity and cytochrome P-450 content in a dose-dependent manner during 4–12 weeks, whereas NADH-cytochrome b 5 reductase was not altered. After 12 weeks of exposure to 0.4 ppm O 3, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and cytochrome P-450 reached a maximum showing 138 ( P < 0.001) and 221% ( P < 0.001) those of the control levels, respectively. At 0.1 ppm O 3, the cytochrome P-450 content still increased significantly to 152% that of the control on the fourth week. In parallel to the increment of cytochrome P-450 benzo( a )pyrene hydroxylase and 7-ethoxycoumarin O -deethylase increased significantly during 4–12 weeks of exposures to 0.2 and 0.4 ppm O 3. After a 4-week exposure to 0.1 and 0.2 ppm O 3, benzphetamine N -demethylase increased to the largest degree among the enzymes metabolizing four kinds of xenobiotics examined. 7-Ethoxycoumarin O -deethylase also increased significantly but of smaller magnitude, whereas coumarin hydroxylase was not affected. These results show that prolonged exposures to 0.1–0.4 ppm O 3 persistently enhance pulmonary cytochrome P-450 systems. It is also suggested that some isozyme(s) of pulmonary cytochrome P-450, especially that catalyzing benzphetamine N-demethylation, are preferentially increased by exposure to low levels of O 3.
