SD increased autophagy activity in liver. (a–d) The images presented were the expression of LC3. Bars represent the means of the LC3 II/LC3 I ratios. (e–h) Representative expression of protein levels of p62 and Beclin 1 were detected by Western blotting. The relative densities of the bands in each lane were analyzed and normalized to β-actin. The results were (, , and ).
