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.

Book Chapter Description
The polycystic ovary (PCO) is defined by the increased number of subcapsular hyperandrogenic follicles and a tendency towards anovulation. This chapter details current knowledge regarding the morphological and functional defects present in these ovaries. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have revealed linkage to sites close to genes encoding proteins involved in ovarian function, but the majority have not provided definitive mechanistic explanations. Primordial follicle numbers appear normal but increase upon commencement of growth with enhanced survival creating a stockpiling effect. Much has been learned from prenatally androgenised primate models of PCOS, surplus human ovarian tissue from cryopreserved sections, in vitro cell culture models and the ability to perform microarray on small samples. Impaired folliculogenesis and failure of dominant follicle selection underlie the ovulatory dysfunction of PCOS, but ovulatory status appears to fluctuate. Members of the TGFβ family are strongly implicated both pre- and postnatally in disordered preantral and antral follicular development. Overproduction of androgens by the ovarian theca cells of PCO is intrinsic, and GWAS consistently show linkage to DENND1A, a splice variant of which increases steroidogenesis and is overexpressed in PCOS theca. Insulin resistance is common in PCOS with systemic and local ovarian effects, resulting in alteration of cell metabolism that affects both follicle growth and oocyte health.
