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
The binding of 125 I-labeled ovine prolactin ( 125 I-oPRL) to membranes from the kidney and liver of Xenopus laevis male and female specimens (Experiment I) and from the kidney, epidermis, and liver of female specimens (Experiment II) (1) kept in an aquatic environment, (2) exposed for 2 weeks to dehydrating conditions, and (3) then placed back into their aquaria after exposure to dehydrating conditions (Experiment II) was studied. No significant sex differences in PRL binding to kidney, epidermis, and liver were found. A highly significant drop in PRL specific binding to the membranes from the kidney and epidermis is brought about in the specimens from both sexes exposed to dehydrating conditions. The results obtained by MgCl 2 treatment in vitro of the membranes under study for an estimation of total PRL receptor concentrations seem to point to an actual decrease in PRL specific binding sites. The values of PRL specific binding to the membranes from the liver are not affected by dehydration of the animals (Experiment I and II) or their subsequent rehydration (Experiment II). In rehydrated females (Experiment II), PRL binding values were closely related to those recorded in females permanently maintained in water (controls).
