Expression of LC3-I and LC3-II in myocardial cells after heat stress. Treatment with Q10 alone did not induce expression of LC3 expression; heat stress increased expression of both LC3-II and LC3-I in chicken myocardial cells. Treatment with 10 μM or 20 μM Q10 during heat stress significantly increased the expression of LC3-II compared with the HS only group; treatment with 20 μM Q10 significantly increased LC3-II expression over the 1 μΜ and 10 μΜ Q10 treatments. Values represent the means ± SE. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. The asterisks immediately above each bar indicate significance from the control. The asterisks immediately above each line indicate significance between different groups linked by line
