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

This study evaluates the protective effects of a lyophilized extract of the horse mushroom, Agaricus arvensis, on hematological parameters and its antioxidative role against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced oxidative stress in rats. The protective effects of the A. arvensis extract were evaluated by comparing hematological parameters, erythrocyte fragility, and components of the antioxidant defense system (e.g., reduced glutathione [GSH] level; glutathione S-transferase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase [GPx], and superoxide dismutase activities; and malondialdehyde content in erythrocytes). The 4 experimental groups included the controls (group I), CCl4-treated rats (group II), rats treated with CCl4 + 100 mg/kg A. arvensis extract (group III), and those treated with CCl4 + 500 mg/kg A. arvensis extract (group IV). Erythrocyte hemolysis in 0.6% NaCl was lower in groups I, III, and IV (at 38%, 22%, and 34%, respectively) than in group II. GSH levels in groups I, III, and IV were higher by 54%, 12%, and 11%, respectively, than that in group II. GPx enzyme activity in group II was significantly lower than the activity in groups I, III, and IV (by 138%, 70%, and 64%, respectively). In addition, administration of the A. arvensis extract resolved the dangerous effects of CCl4 on some hematological parameters such as red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cells, platelet count, plateletcrit, and red cell distribution width. We conclude that the A. arvensis extract has therapeutic effects against CCl4-induced oxidative stress, reduces erythrocyte fragility, and improves a number of hematological parameters in rats.
