NAR promotes the initiation of autophagy in the autophagic flux of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and C2C12 myoblasts. LC3 in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (A,B) and C2C12 myoblasts (F,G) after treatment of NAR or in combination with CQ were detected by immunofluorescence (green), and pictured by confocal microscopy (the objective amplification 63×). The expression of p62 and LC3 in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (C–E) and C2C12 myoblasts (H–J) was detected by Western blotting. Bars represent 10 μM. All values were expressed as the mean ± SD from three or more independent experiments. ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05 vs. untreated cells or as indicated. Abbreviation: NAR, naringenin; CQ, chloroquine.
