Table 2. Group data reporting the average amplitudes (in μV) of the mixed rod-cone a-wave (scotopic a-wave), mixed rod-cone b-wave (scotopic b-wave), photopic cone b-wave, and rod Vmax measured for male rats, premenopausal and menopausal female rats at age of 18 months.
No. of Animals | Mixed Rod-Cone a-wave | Mixed Rod-Cone b-wave | Photopic Cone b-wave | Rod Vmax | |

Male | N = 5 | 35.5 ± 9.4 | 205.8 ± 76.0 | 56.6 ± 20.2 | 211.5 ± 91.5 |
Premenopausal female | N = 2 | 51.1 ± 14.2 | 266.7 ± 53.9 | 73.3 ± 18.9 | 267.1 ± 29.1 |
Menopausal female | N = 4 | 29.4 ± 4.7 | 159.8 ± 41.9*** | 50.6 ± 5.2 | 167.3 ± 4.4** |
** p < 0.01 and *** P <0.001 indicate statistically difference between premenopausal and menopausal female rats.
