Effects of MYQ on the expression of Beclin-1 and LC3. a Expression of Beclin-1, upper is the representative blots of Beclin-1 and GAPDH; lower is the densitometric analysis of Beclin-1 expression normalized to GAPDH (n = 8). b Expression of LC3, upper is the representative blots of LC3 I and LC3 II; lower is the densitometric analysis of the ratio of LC3 II to LC3 I (n = 8). Sham: Sham group; I/R: ischemic/reperfusion group. I/R + Low dose: Low dose (1 ml, P.O. tid for one-week or 1 month) MYQ treatment group. I/R + High dose: High dose (4 ml, P.O. tid for one-week or 1 month) MYQ treatment group. All data were expression as mean ± S.E.M. † P < 0.05 compared with sham group
