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.

Book Chapter Description
This chapter presents the physiology of guinea pigs. It provides a comprehensive review of three of the more intensively reported areas of guinea pig physiology—hematological, cardiovascular, and reproductive. Studies of normal parameters and facets of function in the guinea pig are largely piecemeal. There are relatively few reports which have as their principal goal the elucidation of physiological norms for guinea pig. Most available normative data are ancillary to disease-oriented studies. The chapter discusses the potentially useful information from a comparative view, especially relative to guinea pig as a model for human disease. Guinea pig has been used extensively in hematological studies; consequently, there is considerable data on cellular elements, physiological properties, and biochemical characteristics of circulating blood and bone marrow. The guinea pig is particularly well suited for the studies in reproductive physiology because of easy handling, distinct signs of estrus, and behavior related fairly distinct to physical changes in the reproductive tract. Of all the small laboratory mammals, the guinea pig reproductive system most resembles man in that it has a long cycle, ovulates spontaneously, and has an actively secreting corpus luteum. Under laboratory conditions, domestic guinea pigs are polyestrous, nonseasonal breeders, although slight seasonal variations in reproductive performance have been reported. Guinea pig atria are frequently used for physiological and pharmacological studies of action potential, contraction strength, and their interrelationships.
