Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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.

Conference Paper Description
Fructose malabsorption is characterized by the inability to absorb fructose efficiently. Consequently fructose reaches the colon and is broken down by bacteria to short-fatty-acids, CO and H. Recently we found that fructose malabsorption was associated with signs of depression. It was therefore of interest to find out whether fructose malabsorption is associated with abnormal tryptophan metabolism. Breath hydrogen concentrations were measured in 50 after an oral dose of 50 g fructose allowing to classify them as normals (n = 15) or fructose malabsorbers (n = 35). Blood samples were taken for tryptophan and kynurenine measurements. Fructose malabsorbers showed significantly lower plasma tryptophan concentrations and significantly higher depression scores compared to normals. Fructose malabsorption is associated with lower tryptophan levels which may play a role in the development of depressive disorders.
