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 sensitive and highly specific enzymelinked immunosorbent assay with an inhibition step was used to monitor the concentration of keratan sulfate, a cartilage-related glycosaminoglycan, in the serum of three adult male deer. During the course of one complete annual antler regeneration cycle, keratan sulfate levels were found to fluctuate predictably in relation to the growth and maturation of the antlers: levels are substantially elevated during the growth phase and drop precipitously when growth ceases and the antlers become fully mineralized. In addition, an unanticipated elevation of serum keratan sulfate was observed in early spring prior to casting of the preceding year's antlers and the initiation of regrowth. This suggests that changes in cartilage metabolism occur concomitantly, with this phase of the antlerogenic cycle. These results show predictable and physiologically regulated variation in serum keratan sulfate levels which correlate directly with specific phases of the antler regeneration cycle. Furthermore, the findings provide additional support for the assertion that measurements of keratan sulfate levels in serum can provide useful information about changes in cartilage metabolism in normal as well as diseased states. © 1986 Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
