Macroscopic and histopathological findings in CXMD J hearts A. Macroscopic examinations of the base of the formalin-fixed hearts of a normal littermate III-301MN at 21 months and CXMDJ dogs, III-1803MA at 7 months and III-302MA at 21 months of age. *Aortic valve. Bar shows 1 cm. B. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson's trichrome (MT) staining for histopathological evaluation of the left ventricular posterior wall in a normal littermate, III-301MN at 21 months and the CXMDJ dogs, III-1803MA at 7 months, III-D55MA at 9 months, III-D02MA at 15 months, and III-302MA at 21 months of age. Posterior walls of left ventricles of both III-D55MA and III-D02MA were macroscopically normal (data not shown). Bar shows 200 μm.
