Table 1. Microscopic findings in myocardia from control, SFN, DOX+/−SFN treated mice.
Cytoplasmic vacuolization | Myofibrillar disruption | Fibrosis | |
---|---|---|---|
Control | 0/4 | 0/4 | 0/4 |
SFN | 0/4 | 0/4 | 0/4 |
DOX | 8/8 (2.6) | 8/8 (2.5) | 3/8 (1) |
DOX+SFN | 2/8 (1) | 3/8 (1) | 0/8 |
Myocardial tissue was examined for cytoplasmic and myofibrillar changes and fibrosis. Data are presented as number of animals affected/number of animals examined; average severity (ranging from 1 to 3, least to most severe) of affected animals is indicated in parentheses. Microscopic examination was determined by a pathologist using scoring criteria described in the Materials and methods.
