Greater energy demands in the dark are associated with a smaller magnitude of the hyporeflective band signal intensity than in the light.^17–20 Summary of (A) magnitude of the hyporeflective band signal intensity for light versus dark in male B6J mice on the superior retina (inferior results are shown in Supplementary Figure S3). All groups n = 5, mean ± 95% confidence interval. Black horizontal bar: P < 0.05. (B) No measurable magnitude of the hyporeflective band signal intensity was noted for S6 mice, consistent with a higher mitochondria efficiency in this strain versus that in B6J mice.³⁰
