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
l -Histidine ( l -His) enhances the clastogenic effects of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). We previously suggested the involvement of active transport in the efficient influx of an l -His–H 2 O 2 adduct into cells (Oya-Ohta et al. [1] ). In this study, we detected intracellular H 2 O 2 by monitoring formation of 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) from its precursor. More fluoroproduct accumulated dose-dependently in cells treated with a mixture of l -His and H 2 O 2 (mixture) than with H 2 O 2 alone. This observation supports our hypothesis that active transport is involved in the enhanced incorporation of H 2 O 2 into cells. Moreover, both mixture and the l -His–H 2 O 2 adduct were less active in the generation of hydroxyl radicals ( OH) upon addition of FeCl 2 than was H 2 O 2 alone in a cell-free system. This result suggests that the Fenton reaction might occur more effectively around the nucleus in cells. An immunohistochemical assay using 8-oxodG-specific monoclonal antibodies did not reveal whether the accumulation of H 2 O 2 generates 8-oxodeoxyguanosine (8-oxodG). No 8-oxodG was evident in cells treated with mixture or with H 2 O 2 alone, or even in cells treated with H 2 O 2 at high doses up to 20 mM and, in some cases, pre-treated with catalase inhibitors. It appears, therefore, that OH and, specifically, OH derived from intracellular Fenton reactions, might not play a role in the formation of 8-oxodG. However, exposure to UV-C of cells treated with H 2 O 2 yielded more 8-oxodG in the presence of l -His than in the absence of l -His. Thus, the previously observed enhancing effects of l -His were also noted during the induction of formation of 8-oxodG by UV-C plus H 2 O 2. The formation of 8-oxodG in response to UV-C alone was very limited and, hence, H 2 O 2 seemed to be an effective source of OH only in the presence of UV-C. It is suggested that the OH that induces formation of 8-oxodG is not OH formed via intracellular Fenton reactions but is OH formed via the dissociation of H 2 O 2 under UV-C.
