| Abstract |
What would you do if your body decided to die when you were not ready? It appears that some biological program can shut down all bodily functions, in much the same way as apoptosis does so at the cellular level. Pacific salmon and annual cicada die after reproduction. How do they die chemically? Their programmed death after reproduction should have chemical signals. Similarly, pro-inflammatory cytokines, particularly tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β, could induce death in mammals. Acute massive production of them in sepsis and chronic tiny production in aging could lead to death. Thus, the mechanism of the whole body suicide program could be determined and some people could be rescued from this type of death by elucidating the death program. I propose that the concept of whole body apoptosis, defined as programmed whole body death, be adopted by scientific community. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 April 2015.
All research outputs
#18,336,865
of 22,707,247 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Pharmacal Research
#1,042
of 1,293 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#149,490
of 197,532 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Pharmacal Research
#21
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,707,247 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,293 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 197,532 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
