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 major hemolymph lipoprotein, lipophorin, was isolated from the grasshopper, Gastrimargus africanus. In the resting form the lipoprotein is composed of two apoproteins, apolipophorin I ( Mr 250,000) and apolipophorin II ( Mr 80,000). Following the administration of synthetic locust adipokinetic hormone to adult G. africanus the density of lipophorin decreased from 1.10 to 1.05 g/ml, and a third apoprotein, apolipophorin III (apoLp-III), associated with the particle. ApoLp-III was isolated from the low density form of lipophorin, using organic solvents to extract the lipids and to denature apolipophorin I and II. The purified apoLp-III has an Mr = 20,000 and contains 5.3% carbohydrate. The protein and its physiological functions appear similar to apoLp-III of Manduca sexta, although the lepidopteran apolipoprotein has a lower molecular weight and does not contain carbohydrate.
