The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00066 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

ABSTRACT

The antioxidant effects of Hypsizygus marmoreus were investigated for peroxyl and alkoxyl radicals by ordinary, non-tumor-bearing and tumor-bearing mice. Antioxidant activity (AOA) was determined using the plasma of these mice. On one hand, the aqueous extract of H. marmoreus fruit body was found to have slight radical trapping activity for both peroxyl and alkoxyl radicals in vitro. On the other hand, when the blood plasma of mice, fed with fodder containing 5−10% of dried powders of mushroom extract, AOA was significantly augmented with aloxyl radicals. Using an HPLC post column AOA method, it was suggested that the increase of AOA in mice plasma was caused by an induction of high-molecular-weight components of the plasma, which were produced by feeding with H. marmoreus. Moreover, the amount of lipoperoxide in the mice plasma was measured as a value of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. The in vivo effect of the intake of H. marmoreus fruit body was also investigated by plasma AOA status of tumor-bearing mice. Female DBA/2 mice, injected subcutaneously with 3-methylcholanthrene (MC), were fed for 76 weeks. It was found that the AOA of the mice with tumors was significantly higher than those of the mice without tumors. The high levels of AOA of the mice plasma were attributable to the increase of high-molecular-weight AOA components. Thus, oral administration of the fruit body of H. marmoreus exhibited potent antitumor or cancer-preventive effects and caused a significant decrease in lipid peroxide levels, which were determined as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. These results showed that the intake of H. marmoreus fruit body could induce an antioxidant effect, and the increase of AOA in the plasma of tumor-bearing mice was an important mechanism in cancer prevention. It was also suggested that the mushroom might play a role in the decrease of lipid peroxides trough AOA induction.
