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 response of the ovarian muscles to a standard preparation of the myotropic ovulation factor from identified neurosecretory cells in the brain of Rhodnius prolixus increases after feeding in both virgin and mated females. This increase is unaffected by removal of the neurosecretory cells and by increases imposed on the resting tension of the ovaries used in the bioassay. The hemolymph titer of the myotropic activity as determined by bioassay exhibits a peak after feeding in both mated and virgin females. A second peak, corresponding both with the principal bout of ovulation/oviposition and with a corresponding peak in ovarian motility previously observed in vivo, is observed only in mated females. It is concluded that the changes in ovarian motility associated with ovulation in Rhodnius are a consequence primarily of variations in the hemolymph titer of the myotropic ovulation hormone from neurosecretory cells in the brain.
