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
Two fluorescent calcium indicators, Fura 2 and Indo 1 were compared with Quin 2 for the measurement of cytosolic free calcium concentrations (Ca) in intact platelets. The free calcium ions were quantitatively evaluated using a single excitation wavelength fluorimeter before and after stimulation with the Ca ionophores ionomycin and A23187, platelet activating factor (PAF) and arachidonic acid (AA). Using Quin 2 no rise in (Ca) could be registered by stimulation with the weak agonists PAF and AA in subthreshold concentrations for aggregation in contrast to Indo 1 and, to a lesser extent, Fura 2. Stimulation with ionomycin and A23187 led to a significant rise in (Ca) detected by all three indicators. The reproducibility was best for Indo 1. The three fluorescence indicators differed in their influence on platelet function and in their physical properties. Higher fluorescence intensities for Fura 2, and especially Indo 1, allowed a much lower indicator concentration of about 2-10% with a 10-fold improvement in the signal/noise ratio with Indo 1. While there was no difference in the volume distribution curves of the dye-loaded platelets, Quin 2-loaded platelets showed a significantly diminished response to collagen-and ADP-induced aggregation. © 1991 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
