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
A multicenter European study (FoodCue) was undertaken to provide data on the significance of increased dietary copper as a pro-oxidant or antioxidant in vivo. The present work describes the effect of Cu supplementation on (2,2′-azo-bis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH)-induced red blood cell oxidation in middle-aged people. Double-blinded copper supplementation was achieved in 26 healthy volunteers (50–70 years) with pills containing 3 mg CuSO 4, 3 mg Cu glycine chelate (CuG) and 6 mg CuG. Each 6 week supplementation period was preceded and followed by 6 weeks of washout (WO) on placebo. The results show significant increases in time necessary to achieve 50% hemolysis (LT 50 ) after 3CuSO 4 and 6CuG compared with values after WO periods. Cu supplementation did not increase the levels of (Cu,Zn)SOD activity in red blood cells. Resistance to hemolysis was significantly and positively correlated (r =.30, p <.01) with α- and β-carotene content in the plasma. Together, these data suggest that intake of copper as high as 7 mg/d has no pro-oxidant activity and may rather result in protection of red blood cells against oxidation. The decreased oxidizability of red blood cells did not result from increased (Cu,Zn)SOD activity and may occur through other mechanisms such as changes in membrane antioxidant content.
