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
Objective: Placental lipid peroxides and thromboxane are abnormally increased in preeclampsia. Peroxides stimulate thromboxane to increase placental vasoconstriction. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that inhibits lipid peroxidation. We, therefore, evaluated whether vitamin E would attenuate peroxide-induced vasoconstriction in the human placenta. Methods: Isolated human placental cotyledons (n = 6) were perfused for 20-min periods with control Krebs-Ringer-bicarbonate (KRB) buffer, 200 μM t-butyl hydroperoxide, control KRB buffer, 50 μM vitamin E, t-butyl hydroperoxide plus vitamin E, control KRB buffer, and t-butyl hydroperoxide alone. Main Outcome Measures: Fetal perfusion pressure was continually recorded and maternal (M) and fetal (F) effluent samples were collected for each treatment. Samples were analyzed for thromboxane and prostacyclin by RIA of their stable metabolites TXB and 6-keto PGFα, respectively. Results: Compared to control KRB buffer, peroxide perfusion significantly increased perfusion pressure, vascular resistance, TXB secretion and 6-keto-PGFα. After 20 min of perfusion with vitamin E, the ability of peroxide to increase perfusion pressure, vascular resistance, and TXB secretion was significantly attenuated and there was even further attenuation after 40 min of perfusion with vitamin E. Vitamin E did not affect the ability of peroxide to increase the secretion of 6-keto-PGFα. Conclusions: (i) Vitamin E attenuates the ability of peroxide to increase placental vasoconstriction and thromboxane secretion, but not its ability to increase prostacyclin secretion. (ii) The attenuating effects of vitamin E increase with increased duration of exposure and its effects persist after it is discontinued, most likely because it is incorporated into the cell membranes.
