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.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
Hypoxia/ischemia increases cellular inositol trisphosphate (IP$\sb3)$ levels and thereby mobilizes intracellular Ca$\sp{2+}$. Cyanide which produces histotoxic hypoxia also mobilizes intracellular Ca$\sp{2+}$. It was hypothesized that cyanide's action is similar to that of hypoxia/ischemia and that the IP$\sb3$ system has an important role in cyanide neurotoxicity. KCN was found to increase IP$\sb3$ levels in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. This observation led to mechanistic studies which revealed that KCN activates phospholipase C (PLC) to generate IP$\sb3$. PLC activation by KCN is a complex process partly dependent on Ca$\sp{2+}$ and partly Ca$\sp{2+}$ independent. Ca$\sp{2+}$-dependent IP$\sb3$ formation was inhibited by pretreatment with the non-specific Ca$\sp{2+}$ channel blocker, LaCl$\sb3$ or nifedipine, showing involvement of voltage-sensitive Ca$\sp{2+}$ channels. Since KCN-induced IP$\sb3$ formation was not additive with that elicited by glutamate, KCN and glutamate may share a common step in the transduction process that increases formation of IP$\sb3$. Also extracellular Ca$\sp{2+}$ removal and a selective metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) antagonist (scL-AP3 or (+)-MCPG) caused greater inhibition of IP$\sb3$ formation compared to either condition alone. These results indicate that KCN induces glutamate release and subsequently mGluR activation may contribute to Ca$\sp{2+}$-independent IP$\sb3$ formation. Glutamate release by KCN was shown to be dependent on extracellular Na$\sp+$ and blocked by Na$\sp+$-glutamate transporter inhibitors (THA or t-PDC) indicating KCN releases glutamate via reversal of the Na$\sp+$ -glutamate transporter. BW 1003C87, a Na$\sp+$ channel-mediated glutamate release inhibitor blocked KCN-induced glutamate release. However, neither amiloride, a Na$\sp+$/H$\sp+$ and Na$\sp+$/Ca$\sp{2+}$ antiporter inhibitor, nor tetrodotoxin, a voltage-sensitive Na$\sp+$ channel inhibitor blocked glutamate release in response to KCN. These results indicate that the Na$\sp+$ channel may be involve in KCN-induced glutamate release. Since cellular energy status does not change during the course of cellular toxicity, ATP depletion does not play a role in KCN-induced glutamate release and IP$\sb3$ formation. In summary, KCN stimulates PLC-coupled polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis in PC12 cells via two distinct pathways. First, KCN increases cytosolic Ca$\sp{2+}$ which activates PLC directly. Secondly, KCN induces glutamate release which interacts with mGluR resulting in PLC activation.
