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
To further investigate the relationship between plasma anandamide (AEA), sex steroids, and gonadotrophins to improve our understanding of how AEA may be involved in human fertility. Cross-sectional and longitudinal study. University Hospital of Leicester NHS Trust, Leicester Royal Infirmary. Healthy premenopausal and postmenopausal volunteers. UPLC-MS/MS–measured plasma AEA and ELISA-measured serum FSH, LH, estradiol, and progesterone levels at five different phases of the menstrual cycle and postmenopause. Plasma AEA, serum steroids and gonadotrophins. Changes in AEA levels were similar in the two cohorts. The mean ± SEM levels in the early follicular phase (0.89 ± 0.06) for the cross-sectional cohort and the longitudinal cohort (0.73 ± 0.03) were higher than those in the late follicular phase (0.77 ± 0.09 cross-sectional; 0.63 ± 0.08 longitudinal). The highest AEA levels were measured at ovulation (1.38 ± 0.14 and 1.33 ± 0.16) and the lowest level was measured in the late luteal phase (0.66 ± 0.07 and 0.56 ± 0.06). There was a statistically significant positive correlation between AEA, estradiol ( P =0.0015), LH ( P <0.0001) and FSH levels but not progesterone ( P =0.022). Peak plasma AEA occurred at ovulation and positively correlated with estradiol and gonadotrophin levels suggesting that these may be involved in the regulation of AEA levels.
