The effects of LBP on activation of microglia/macrophages, polarization of microglia/macrophages and activation of autophagy in optic nerves. (A) The Western blot analysis showed that LBP treatment significantly increased the expression of CD68 (Student's t-test, *p < 0.05). (B) Effects of LBP on polarization of microglia/macrophages. The expression level of Arginase-1 increased significantly 1 week after PONT in rats fed with LBP (Student's t-test, **p < 0.01); but the expression level of iNOS did not change (Student's t-test, p > 0.05). (C) Effects of LBP on autophagy. LBP led to decreased LC3 II expression (Student's t-test, ***p < 0.001) in the LBP group compared with the PBS group (Student's t-test, *p < 0.05). (Mean ± SEM; NS: not significant; n = 6 in both PBS and LBP groups for Western blot analysis, two optic nerves in one sample).
