Whole mount images of M. mulatta MGs at different ages. (A) Representative upper and lower whole mount images of MGs of 6 year, 10 year, and 12 year old M. mulatta. Arrows indicate MG atrophy and asterisks indicate MG dropout. (B) Scatter plot of the number of atrophic MGs (y-axis) present in the upper eyelid of M. mulatta per age (x-axis). (C) Scatter plot of the number of atrophic MGs (y-axis) present in the lower eyelid of M. mulatta per age (x-axis). (D) Scatter plot of the number of MG drop-out (y-axis) present in the upper eyelid of M. mulatta per age (x-axis). (E) Scatter plot of the number of MG drop-out (y-axis) present in the lower eyelid of M. mulatta per age (x-axis). (F) Representative images of the upper and lower whole mounted eyelid showing the MGs of a 12 year old M. mulatta with severe MGD. (G) Representative images of the upper and lower whole mounted eyelid showing the MGs of a 11 year old M. mulatta that presents ghost glands, indicated within the dashed rectangle. Scale bar represents 1 mm.
