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
We have followed the anti-oxidant effects of a plant polyphenol-rich extract (PC) in the lungs of albino mice in the experimental influenza A/Aichi/2/68 (H3N2) (A/Aichi) virus infection. The effect of PC on the superoxide (O) and peroxide (HO) production from alveolar macrophages (aMØ) and on the lung antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) was studied. We also investigated the effect on the lipid peroxidation (LPO) and the total antioxidant activity (TAOA) in the lung tissue. All of the mentioned effects were studied in parallel with the protection on mortality rates and lung virological parameters on days 2, 6 and 9 after the viral challenge. It was shown that the extract significantly restored and stimulated the antioxidant activities in the lungs of influenza virus (IV)-infected mice. The protective effect of PC in the experimental influenza virus infection (EIVI) was related to both the specific antiviral effect of the extract and its antioxidant activity. © 2009 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
