Table 1. Quantitation of M- and S-cone opsin mRNA in normal, detached, and reattached retinas
Cells labeled with anti-sense riboprobes to either M- or S- cone opsin were counted in sections from control (normal, attached), detached, and reattached retinas. N = number of animals studied

The p values were determined using ANOVA and a post-hoc t-test. For the M-opsin studies: df=6,18 and F=12.2. For the S-opsin studies: df=6,17 and F=4.43.
