(g) Expression levels of Atg5 and Atg12-Atg5 conjugate, the conversion of LC3 I into LC3 II, and p62 level in the hearts of Atg5 Tg mice. Whole-tissue extracts were prepared from 3-month-old Atg5 Tg mice and WT littermates, and analysed by western blotting using the indicated antibodies. β-Actin served as a control. (h) Densitometric analysis of the signals on the blots shown in (g). The bars represent the mean±s.d. (n=3).
