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
The porphyrin biosynthetic pathway has been evaluated in Harderian glands of several inbred mouse strains. In female mice porphyrin content in a pair of Harderian glands varies from 0.6 μg in C57BL/6J to 73.4 μg in AKR/J. This latter is equivalent to nearly 3000 μg/g tissue. The quantity of porphyrin and δALA 1 1The following abbreviations are used in the text: δALA, 3-aminolevulinic acid; DDC, 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydro-2,4,6-trimethyl pyridine; PBG, porphobilinogen; SD, standard deviation of the mean; Uro, uroporphyrinogen. synthetase is different in males and females of the same strain. Compounds that induce hepatic porphyria are without effect on Harderian gland porphyrin content. Evaluation of the activities of three enzymes in the pathway suggests that the porphyrin level is correlated with the activity of δALA synthetase but not of uroporphyrinogen synthetase or δALA dehydratase. The genetic locus (loci) regulating this system is complex and distinct from that which determines the level of δALA dehydratase in mouse liver (Lv). It is also apparently unrelated to the inducibility of hepatic δALA synthetase in mice and, therefore, probably represents a new aspect of regulation of the porphyrin pathway in mice.
