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
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the supplementation with Passiflora ligularis (granadilla) extract on some low-grade chronic inflammation markers associated with overweight in a model of albino mice fed a high-fat diet. Materials and methods: thirty-six albino mice were used, distributed in an unrestrictedly random design in 3 treatments and 12 repetitions. The treatments represented a group with a control diet, a second treatment with a high-fat diet, and a group that received high-fat food and supplementation with 3g/L of Passiflora ligularis extract in the drinking water. After 49 days, the variables food consumption, water consumption, and weight gain were evaluated, in addition to the serum concentration of the inflammation markers IL-6 and TNF-α. Results: Supplementation with Passiflora ligularis extract reduced (p <0.05) the weight gain of mice compared to animals that received the high-fat diet without supplementation. Serum levels of TNF-α on supplemented mice did not show differences with neither of both control groups while the amounts of IL-6 were not affected by the treatments. Conclusion: The concentration of 3g/L in the drinking water of the of Passiflora ligularis extract decreased the weight gain produced by the increase fat in diet and reduced the measurement of the serum inflammation marker TNF-α indicating a beneficial effect on the risk associated with chronic low-grade inflammation.
