doi: 10.1016/j.jtcme.2025.06.001
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of OST on cardiac autophagy and the p38MAPK/mTOR signaling pathway in TRZ-treated mice. (A–B) Representative images of transmission electron microscopy images, yellow arrow, mitochondria; red arrow, autophagosome. (C) Representative western blotting bands for LC3I, LC3II, Beclin-1, p62. (D–F) Quantitative analysis of LC3II/I, Beclin-1, p62 (normalized to GAPDH). (G) Representative western blotting bands for p-p38MAPK, p38MAPK, p-mTOR and mTOR. (H) Quantitative analysis of p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK and p-mTOR/mTOR. Data are expressed as means ± SEM ( n = 3). ## P < 0.01 vs the CON group; ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01 vs the TRZ group.
