High-dose Vitamin C injection ameliorates against sepsis-induced myocardial injury by anti-apoptosis, anti-inflammatory and pro-autophagy through regulating MAPK, NF-κB and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways in rats
Figure 5. High-dose VC enhanced the cardiomyocyte autophagy in CLP-induced sepsis rats at 1d, 3d and 5d. (A–D) Representative images of LC3-II/LC3-I ratio and the expression of the proteins Beclin-1 and P62 were examined by western blot and the fold activation data analysis. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (at least n = 6/group), #p < 0.05 (vs. Sham group), *p < 0.05 (vs. CLP group).
