Fig. 9

p62 Western blot results in WAT. a p62 band was seen in WAT, and b the protein level of p62 was significantly higher in fructose-fed animals suggesting reduced amount of autophagy (p < 0.001). The whiskers indicate the range from minimum to maximum values. The abbreviations for groups are explained in Fig. 1, n = 6/group and plus sign (+) indicates the positive control sample. Figure also shows β-actin for the blot but as β-actin seems to be affected by fructose diet, the results are analyzed relative to total protein
