Effects of ALA on autophagy in the kidney of CLP-induced septic rats. (A) TEM of kidney tissue from septic rats. Scale bar: 1 μm. (B) Western blot analysis of LC3, Atg5, Atg7, beclin-1, and p62 expression in the kidney. ALA downregulated p62 and upregulated the other autophagy-associated proteins in the kidney of septic rats. 3-MA significantly inhibited the expression of these proteins. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD, n = 8. **P < 0.01 vs. sham-operated rats; ##P < 0.01 vs. CLP-operated rats, ††P < 0.01 vs. ALA-treated CLP rats.
