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
In mouse cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) low concentrations of domoic acid (DomA) induce apoptotic cell death, which is mediated by oxidative stress; apoptosis is more pronounced in CGNs from Gclm (-/-) mice, which lack the modifier subunit of glutamate cysteine ligase (GCL) and have very low GSH levels. By activating M muscarinic receptors, the cholinergic agonist carbachol inhibits DomA-induced apoptosis, and the anti-apoptotic action of carbachol is more pronounced in CGNs from Gclm (+/+) mice. Carbachol does not prevent DomA-induced increase in reactive oxygen species, suggesting that its anti-apoptotic effect is downstream of reactive oxygen species production. Carbachol inhibits DomA-induced activation of Jun N-terminal (JNK) and p38 kinases, increased translocation to mitochondria of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, and activation of caspase-3. Carbachol activates extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) MAPK and phospahtidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) in CGNs from both genotypes. However, while the protective effect of carbachol is mediated by ERK1/2 MAPK in CGNs from both mouse genotypes, inhibitors of PI3K are only effective at antagonizing the action of carbachol in CGNs from Gclm (+/+) mice. In CGNs from both Gclm (+/+) and (-/-) mice, carbachol induces a MAPK-dependent increase in the level of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. In contrast, carbachol causes a PI3K-dependent increase in GCL activity and of GSH levels only in CGNs from Gclm (+/+) mice. Such increase in GCL is not because of a transcriptionally-mediated increase in glutamate cysteine ligase catalytic subunit or glutamate cysteine ligase modifier subunit, but rather to an increase in the formation of the GCL holoenzyme. The results indicate that multiple pathways may contribute to the protective action of carbachol toward DomA-induced apoptosis. Compromised GCLM expression, which is also found in a common genetic polymorphism in humans, leads to lower GSH levels, which can exacerbate the neurotoxicity of DomA, and decreases the anti-apoptotic effectiveness of muscarinic agonists. © 2009 International Society for Neurochemistry.
