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.

Abstract Description
Quantitative aspects of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis in rat hepatocytes were monitored. A reduction of intracellular UTP contents by different concentrations of D-galactosamine led to a dose-dependent increase of 14CO2 incorporation into the sum of all acid-soluble uracil nucleotides. In controls the rate of de novo synthesis which was calculated from the incorporation rate of 14CO2 into the sum of all acid-soluble uracil nucleotides was 0.014 mumol X h-1 X g-1 compared to 0.056 mumol X h-1 X g-1 wet weight of liver in situations of a maximally stimulated de novo synthesis. Incubation of hepatocytes with uridine led to a dose-dependent reduction of 14CO2 incorporation to less than 25% of the amount incorporated in the controls. Alterations of the CTP content had no influence on the 14CO2 incorporation. In the presence of high D-galactosamine concentrations the increase of the total amount of acid-soluble uracil nucleotides exceeded the rate of the de novo synthesis derived from the incorporation of 14CO2 into the sum of the acid-soluble uracil nucleotide pool. It was also greater than the increase of the total amount of intra- and extracellular orotate after acidic hydrolysis–even in the presence of 6-azauridine, which stimulated de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis by itself.
