Figure 2. Expression of mTOR- and autophagy-related genes in the skeletal muscle of the mice.

After the treatments for 20 days, mice were killed and skeletal muscle tissues were collected. Representative Western blots and densitometry quantification of (A) p-mTOR/mTOR, (B) p-S6/S6, (C) LC3-II/LC3-I, (D) p62 and EIF-5. EIF-5 was used as a control. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01, vs control; ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01. n = 6/group.
