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
Acetaldehyde has been proposed as a mediator of fibrogenesis in alcoholic liver disease, based in part on its ability to stimulate collagen synthesis by hepatic lipocytes in late primary or passaged culture. In this study, we examined the effect of acetaldehyde on rat lipocytes and fibroblasts at various stages of culture, in an effort to determine whether culture‐related events influence responsiveness to this compound. Lipocytes from normal rat liver were studied in primary culture at 3 and 7 days after plating; fibroblasts were studied in subculture, at subconfluent and confluent densities. Both cell types were incubated with 100 μM acetaldehyde for 24 hr followed by measurement of collagen synthesis and type I collagen gene expression. Acetaldehyde had no effect on lipocytes at either 3 or 7 days in primary culture. The inability of acetaldehyde to stimulate collagen synthesis in primary culture was not attributable to toxicity, because cell morphology and total protein synthesis were identical in both treated and untreated cultures. Fibroblasts exhibited a variable response to acetaldehyde that was dependent on cell density: subcon‐fluent cells contained similar amounts of type I collagen mRNA in both the presence and absence of acetaldehyde, whereas confluent cells exhibited a 2‐ to 3‐fold increase in collagen mRNA levels upon acetaldehyde exposure. To determine whether quiescent lipocytes would respond to acetaldehyde in a culture system that mimics the hepatic environment in vivo, lipocytes were plated in coculture with hepatocytes on a basement membrane gel and incubated with 20 mM ethanol for 72 hr. Direct communication between these two cell types did not provoke lipocyte activation, even in the setting of ethanol oxidation. We conclude from these experiments that acetaldehyde is not a primary stimulus to lipocyte activation in vivo. Acetaldehyde may enhance collagen synthesis by lipocytes, but its activity appears restricted to cells that have undergone a prior priming event in culture or in vivo. Of the many phenotypic changes that occur in lipocytes during the first week of primary culture, none sensitizes them to the fibrogenic effects of acetaldehyde. Copyright © 1994, Wiley Blackwell.
