Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A fatty acid binding protein (FABP) gene (Slfabp1) was cloned from the midgut of Spodoptera litura larvae. The gene consists of four exons and three introns and encodes a peptide of 134 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass of 14.7 kDa, which was confirmed by in vitro protein expression. Northern blot and Western blot analyses indicated that both of Slfabp1 mRNA and protein were highly and specifically expressed in the midgut during the fifth and sixth instar feeding larval stages. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry analyses confirmed the midgut-specific localization of Slfabp1 mRNA and protein. The result of Western blot showed that expression of the protein was downregulated by starvation and upregulated by refeeding in sixth instar larvae. All of the results taken together suggest that the SlFABP1 plays important role(s) in FA uptake and transport in the midgut during the larval feeding stages of the insect. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
