Posttranscriptional reduction of apoptosis and induction of autophagy in the liver of brain-dead rats following T3 treatment, yet no effects in the kidney. Western blot expression of proapoptotic protein Bax and autophagy-related proteins LC3-II and SQSTM1/p62 in the liver (a, c) and kidney (b, d) and renal injury markers in plasma (e) of T3- or vehicle-pretreated brain-dead rats. Each lane represents an independent experiment. Results are presented as mean ± SD (N = 7 per group) (∗∗p < 0.01).
