#
Two values represent the “plus” and “minus-removal” data respectively.
Un-shaded data derived from longitudinal data. “Mean sine amp” and “mean sine peak” are from the 24-hr sine function fit to the mean normalized data in figures 2 and 4 A, C and E. “Individual sine peak” is from individual eyes (n’s in parentheses) fit to sine waves with a 24-hr period; circular statistics were used to analyze group differences.
*
Noon vs Eve and Morn vs Eve differ using circular statistics (p<0.05).
---- Data are not sinusoidal.
