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

Experiments in rats and guinea pigs have shown that mycelia of two mushrooms, Flammulina velutipes (Curt.: Fr.) P.Karst., and Coprinus domesticus (Bolt.: Fr.) S.F. Gray, reduced contents of total cholesterol in the blood serum and liver under conditions of induced hyperlipidemia. High levels of triglycerides in guinea pigs were decreased by administering the studied mycelia. The cholesterol index of atherogenicity and liver index declined significantly. Moreover, it was documented that the mycelia of the two mushrooms improved lipoprotein metabolism by decreasing the content of low-density lipoproteins and increasing the content of high-density lipoproteins. The data support recommendations to use F. velutipes and C. domesticus mycelia for prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.
