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
Fetal sheep (n=13) were chronically instrumented to measure temperatures in the maternal femoral artery (MAT), the amniotic fluid (AFT), the fetal brown adipose tissue (BFT) and the fetal arterial blood (DAT). Cooling loops were inserted into the amniotic cavity. In 4 fetuses osmotic minipumps delivering triiodothyronine (T3) were implanted subcutaneously. One to seven days after surgery the following results were obtained: 1) During control DAT was 0.59±0.2°C (SD), BFT 0.60±0.24°C and AFT 0.38±0.31°C higher than MAT. T3 levels in treated fetuses were 3.4±1.5 μg/l. 2) Infusion of norepinephrine (NE) (5.2±0.9 μg/min per kg fetal body weight) with phentolamine tolamine (26.1±4.3 μg/min per kg) into a fetal vein did not change temperatures. 3) During cooling (-53±15 W) MAT decreased 0.45±0.3°C, DAT 1.9±0.39°C, BFT 1.61±0.52°C and AFT 4.2±1.8°C. 4) The amniotic fluid was cooled until steady state temperatures were achieved. Then propranolol (26.1±4.3 μg/min per kg) or suxamethonium (3±1 mg/kg) were introduced into the fetal vein. No consistent and significant changes of temperatures could be detected. It is concluded that 1) lowering the fetal core temperature by 1.6-1.9°C and its ambient temperature (AFT) by 4.2°C does not induce shivering or non-shivering thermogenesis suppressible by pharmacologic agents, 2) thermogenesis in fetal brown adipose tissue cannot be induced by NE (with or without supplemention of T3). In utero the fetal sheep does not respond to cold stress with an increase of heat production. © 1987 Springer-Verlag.
