Expression levels of Beclin1 (A), LC3B (B), and p62 (C) proteins in the three groups measured by Western blot. (D) Western blot results. Values are mean ±standard deviation. * Significant difference from sham group. # Significant difference of IRI + HRS group from IRI group

Fig. 6
Liver. The results of IHC of LC3B at T3h; A and B – sham group; C and D – IRI group; E and F – IRI + HRS group. The images A, C, and E were recorded at 100× magnification, and the images B, D, and F were recorded at 400× magnification
