(A) Metabolic tissues of Becn1F121A KI mice show increased AMPK activation. Western blot (WB) analysis and quantification of AMPK phosphorylation in liver and muscle of Becn1F121A mice. n = 7.
(B) WB analysis and quantification of AMPK activation and signaling pathways downstream of AMPK in the liver of HFD-fed WT and Becn1F121A mice. n = 7.
(C) Circulating factors in Becn1F121A mice play a role in activating AMPK. WB analysis of AMPK phosphorylation in cell lines cultured for 1 h in medium containing 10% mouse serum from WT or Becn1F121A mice. n = 4.
Data represent mean ± SEM, t test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
