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
An understanding of the intracellular relation between hormonal expression (storage) and gene expression (production) is essential for elucidating the functional status of the individual cells in endocrine tissue such as the pituitary gland. To this end, mRNA expression was visualised by using a combined in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry method in routinely processed, formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded rat pituitaries. mRNA was detected by non-isotopic in situ hybridisation (alkaline phosphatase antialkaline phosphatase method, with nitroblue tetrazolium and 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolylphosphate as substrates). Sections were then stained by using the immunoperoxidase method to demonstrate pituitary hormone expression. The specificity of the combined staining method was confirmed by staining adjacent sections separately. The antigenicity of rat growth hormone prolactin was adequately preserved following hybridisation. In conclusion, this method is specific, easy to use and permits the determination of the functional status of individual cells.
