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
A series of 4-aza-3-oxosteroids were found to be good inhibitors of steroid 5α-reductase. Two of these compounds. 17 β-N,N -diethylcarbamoyl-4-methyl-4-aza-5α-androstan-3-one (4-MA) and 4-methyl-4-aza-5α-pregnan-3-one-20(s)-carboxylate, inhibit 5α-reductase competitively with testosterone (T) with K i values of 5 and 1.7 nM, respectively. These 5α-reductase inhibitors also have an affinity to the androgen receptor which is orders of magnitude lower than that of 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), spironolactone and cyproterone acetate. 4-MA decreases the prostatic concentration of DHT and increases that of T in intact male rats and in castrates given T or its propionate derivative. 4-MA is a better inhibitor of T-induced growth than of DHT-induced growth of the prostate and seminal vesicles in castrated rats. It decreases the weight of the prostate and seminal vesicles in intact rats and that of the prostate in dogs. It has no significant antifertility activity in rats. In pregnant rats, 4-MA reduces the ano-genital distance of male fetuses. 4-MA has no significant androgenic, estrogenic, progestational, antiprogestational or antigonadotrophic activity.
