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
Abstract: Postischemic reperfusion is known to cause iron‐mediated peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in membranes, including mitochondrial membranes, in the brain cortex. Consequently, we tested the hypothesis that this radical‐mediated damage would extend to DNA. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was chosen because of its presence at a known site of free radical formation, its sensitivity and ease of assay, and its known lack of any repair systems. In model experiments we utilized endonuclease III or piperidine to amplify topological form conversions in mtDNA damaged by in vitro reactions with hydroxyl radical. We then applied the amplified detection assays to dog brain mtDNA isolated after 2 or 8 h of reperfusion following a 20‐min cardiac arrest. We found that ischemia and reperfusion caused no topological form conversions in mtDNA. Similarly, nucleotide incorporation by a gap‐filling reaction showed no sensitivity to digestion of the mtDNA by exonuclease III, an enzyme known to remove blocked 3’ termini at the site of radical‐generated nicks. Furthermore, the recovery of mtDNA was similar in all experimental groups, suggesting that putatively damaged forms had not been removed by rapid degradation. Thus, despite mitochondrial membrane damage, brain mtDNA does not accumulate oxygen radical damage during postischemic brain reperfusion. Copyright © 1992, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
