Fig. 10. Full-field electroretinograms (ERGs) to red (top) and blue (middle) light, equal for rod vision, and brighter white stimulus (bottom) from patient with hereditary abetalipoproteinemia (dark-adapted). Responses in left column were obtained before vitamin A therapy, those in middle column at 6 hours, and those on right at 24 hours after vitamin A therapy. Two to three responses to same stimulus are superimposed. Light stimulus begins with each trace. Calibration (lower right) signifies 0.06 mV vertically and 60 msec horizontally.
