LC3 Western blot results. a In WAT, only LC3-II band was seen, and b in liver, both LC3-I (upper band) and LC3-II (lower band) were visible. c LC3-II intensities in WAT and d LC3-II/LC3-I ratio in liver did not differ statistically between the groups. The whiskers indicate the range from minimum to maximum values. The abbreviations for groups are explained in Fig. 1, n = 6–7/group and plus sign (+) indicates the positive control of LC3. Figure also shows β-actin staining for the blots, but as β-actin seems to be affected by fructose diet, the results are analyzed relative to total protein
