Figure 1From: The polygenetically inherited metabolic syndrome of male WOKW rats is associated with enhanced autophagy in adipose tissueExpression of autophagy markers Atg5 and Atg7 in visceral und subcutaneous fat of WOKW and LEW.1 W rats. Representative Western blots and corresponding densitometrical analyses (Figure 1A, B) of Atg5 and Atg7 in visceral and subcutaneous fat of WOKW rats compared to the LEW.1 W control animals. The significant increased expression of Atg5 and Atg7 in visceral fat WOKW rats vs. LEW.1 W control animals. Data from n = 6 are presented as mean ± SEM * p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.001, according to the one-way analysis of variance together with the Newman-Keuls test. GAPDH was used as loading control. AU – arbitrary units.Back to article page
