Sex differences in macular pigment optical density: relation to plasma carotenoid concentrations and dietary patterns.

abstract：:Reaction times (RTs) are obtained for a wide range of contrasts of vertical sinusoidal gratings. The data are plotted as a function of the reciprocal of contrast. In some conditions, a single linear function accounts for the data. In others a clear bi-linear function is obtained. The low and high contrast regions of t...
