Effects of ALA on autophagy in the heart, kidney and small intestine of CLP-induced septic rats. CLP induced significantly increased LC3II/I ratio, Atg5, beclin 1 and p62 expression levels in myocardium and kidney tissues. Except Atg5, no significant change was found in these autophagy-associated proteins in small intestine tissue. (A) Representative protein blots of LC3, Atg5, beclin 1, and p62 in myocardium, kidney and small intestine tissues detected in 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after the CLP surgery. (B) Quantitative analysis of the gray values of protein blots. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD, n = 8. *P < 0.05 vs. sham-operated rats in the same time point, **P < 0.01 vs. sham-operated rats in the same time point. S, sham; C, CLP; H, heart; K, kidney; I, small intestine.
