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
Unleaded gasoline causes acute and chronic nephrotoxicity and renal tumors in male rats, but not female rats or mice of either sex. An active nephrotoxic component of unleaded gasoline has been identified as 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (TMP). The first objective of this study was to characterize light microscopic renal lesions induced in male F344 rats by a 21-day gavage regimen of 50 to 500 mg/kg TMP. The second objective was to localize and quantitate sites of renal cell proliferation induced by the same TMP dose regimens using histoautoradiographic analysis [H]thymidine incorporation. Light microscopic lesions in the proximal convoluted tubular consisted of protein droplet and crystalloid body accumulation, degeneration, and necrosis, and were similar to lesions noted in previous inhalation and gavage studies with other hydrocarbon compounds. The above renal lesions were not dose-related, although tubular dilation of thin limb segments with granular cell debris was dose related. In cell proliferation studies TMP induced a non-dose-related five- to sixfold increase in the labelling index of the same proximal convoluted tubular portions (P segment) that contained severe crystalloid body accumulation, degeneration, and necrosis. Less pronounced, but statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05), increases in cell proliferation were also observed in other nephron segments, indicating a generalized regenerative response of the kidney to TMP. The cytotoxic and regenerative renal effects of TMP administered by gavage suggest that similar mechanisms may be involved in the induction of kidney tumors in male rats following chronic inhalation exposure to unleaded gasoline.
