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
Previous immunohistochemical studies have identified several regulatory peptides in the carotid body chief cells in both humans and animals. These peptides, together with amines, may be important in the modulation of the chemoreflex by the carotid body. We report the localization and distribution of calcitonin and cholecystokinin-like (CCK) immunoreactivity in chief cells of human infant carotid body by light- and electron-microscopic immunohistochemical techniques. Consecutive sections immunostained with calcitonin and/or CCK antibodies revealed positively stained chief cells, both alone and in clusters, scattered throughout the carotid body lobule. Generally more chief cells were positive for calcitonin than for CCK. This was confirmed by quantiative analysis showing that the ratio of calcitonin to CCK immunoreactive cells was consistently >2:1 in all cases studied. There was no apparent correlation between the immunoreactivity for the two peptides and the age, sex, or postmortem interval. Calcitonin-like and CCK-like immunoreactivities were localized electron-microscopically over the dense core granules of the chief cells. Calcitonin and CCK-like peptides in carotid body chief cells may act as neutransmitters or neuromodulators involved in chemoreception. © 1993 Springer-Verlag.
