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.

Article Description
When skin fibroblasts are grown in culture on collagen gels, the collagen gels contract. We have studied the effects of various steroids on the contraction process. Cortisol, β-estradiol and dexamethasone inhibited fibroblast-mediated gel contraction at low (10 −8 to 10 −9 M) concentrations whereas dihydrotestosterone was without effect. These effects were time and concentration dependent and could be reversed if the steroids were removed. This system may be useful for assaying the activities of various steroids in terms of their activities and modulating effects on connective tissue.
