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
Effects of Aspergillus niger -fermented Terminalia catappa seed meal-based diet on the activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and gamma-glutamate transferase (γ-GT) in the crop, small intestine, gizzard, heart, liver and serum of broiler chicks were investigated. Milled T. catappa seed was inoculated with spores of A. niger (2.21 × 10 4 spores per ml) for 3 weeks. Forty-five day-old broiler chicks weighing between 27.62 and 36.21 g, were divided into three groups. The first group was fed soybean-based (control) diet; the second on raw T. catappa seed meal-based diet; and the third on A. niger -fermented T. catappa seed meal-based diet for 7 weeks. The results revealed a significantly increased ( p < 0.05) activity of ALP in the tissues. Contrarily, there were significant reductions ( p < 0.05) in the activities of ALP, ALT, AST and γ-GT in the liver and heart of the broilers fed the raw T. catappa seed meal-based diet while there were significant increase ( p < 0.05) in the activities of these enzymes in the serum of the broilers in this group. The data obtained showed that A. niger -fermented T. catappa seed meal reduced the toxic effects of the raw seed meal on the tissues of broiler chicks.
