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
Objective: To assess the serum levels of gut and adipocyte-derived metabolic hormones that control appetite, adipocity, weight gain and energy hemostasis, namely total ghrelin (TG), acylated ghrelin (AG), leptin and PYY-3 in hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Methods: Plasma samples of 86 women in their first trimester pregnancies with HG (n=30), morning sickness of pregnancy (MSP) (n=34) and control (n=22) groups were obtained. Serum levels of TG, AG, leptin and PYY-3 were compared between the groups, and the correlations with severity of symptoms using modified PUQE (Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis) scoring, BMI, E2, hCG and TSH were calculated. Results: Levels of TG, AG, PYY-3 and the TG/leptin ratio were significantly higher in HG group compared to MSP and the control groups (p0.017). AG/TG ratio was significantly lower in the HG group compared to both MSP and control groups (p0.017). There were either weak or no significant statistical correlations between the gut and adipose-related hormones and the modified PUQE scores, BMI, E2, hCG and TSH. Conclusion: Gut-derived metabolic hormones ghrelin, AG and PYY-3 may be involved in the HG pathophysiology. © 2013 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved.
