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
Cytokines appear to be the major regulators of adipose tissue metabolism. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) serum levels are increased in human obesity, and are under strong genetic control. The hypothesis was tested that the IL-1ra gene might be a candidate for obesity. Furthermore, the relationship was investigated between Sasang constitution and IL-1ra polymorphism. The frequency of a penta-allelic 86-bp tandem repeat (VNTR) in the intron 2 of IL-1ra gene in 67 lean (BMI < 25 kg/m), 133 overweight (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m) and 61 obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m) otherwise healthy Korean subjects was investigated. Total fat mass and percentage body fat were determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Subjects were discriminated into four types by QSCC II program as well as clinical data (weight, height, blood pressure, etc.); Teaeumin, Taeyangin, Soyangin, and Soeumin. Genomic DNA was extracted and used for polymerase chain reaction-based genotyping of IL-1ra. The genotypic, or allelic distribution did not differ markedly between the three groups. The relative risk of being obese in comparison with lean was twofold increased in allele 2 carriers, although it was not statistically significant. Carriers of the allele 2 did not show a significant difference in physical and clinical characteristics. However, the relative risk of being obese in comparison with lean was increased in Taeumin subjects (p = .050), and so was in IL-1ra A2- carriers (p = .047). No relationship was found between the IL-1ra polymorphism and BMI in Korean women, but the authors first attempted to find an association among IL-1ra polymorphism, obesity, and Sasang constitution.
