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

Total polysaccharide (i.e., GLP-UCE) was effectively isolated from the crude polysaccharide extract powder of Ganoderma lucidum by ultrasonic-circulating extraction, which was separated into three fractions (i.e., GLP-U40, GLP-U60, and GLP-U80) by ethanol fractional precipitation. The detection of antioxidant enzymes (GSH-Px, SOD) and oxidation metabolites (MDA, LF); liver function test of ALT, AST, and LDH; and western blot for antioxidant proteins of GSH-Px and MMP-2 showed that the GLP-UCE displayed a favorable in vivo antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities for reducing the oxidative damage in CCl4-hepatopathy SD rats. The GLP-UCE and its fractions were analyzed and compared by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), high-performance liquid chromatography, high-performance gel permeation chromatography, and antioxidant activity in vitro assay. These studies revealed that the fraction GLP-U80 exhibited stronger antioxidant activities in vitro than that of GLP-UCE and other fractions (p<< 0.01), which was homogeneous and heteropolysaccharide-rich in β-D-glucose with a weight-average molecular mass (Mw) of 1.05 × 104 g·mol–1 and composed of D-mannose, D-ribose, D-glucose, D-galactose, and L-fucose in a molecular ratio of 1:0.26:8.26:0.64:0.08.
