I am not asking the literal meaning of the expression. I am just confused with the structure of the sentence considering the whole paragraph, esp. the sentence in the end. Does it mean men react, in a different way from women, to women when they are on birth control?
Context:
There is also accumulating evidence indicating men react differently to women when they are on birth control. A 2004 study in the journal in Behavioral Ecology used the T-shirt study methodology but instead put the shirts on 81 women. A panel of 31 men, smelling the T-shirts, experienced the greatest attraction for the non-pill-using women when they were ovulating. Twelve women on the panel didn't detect any difference.
