Basal levels of autophagy in the striatum of BACHD mice.

<p>Selected autophagy markers were analyzed by Western blot of striatal tissue from BACHD mice at 2, 6 and 12 months of age and compared with gender- and age-matched controls (n = 3–6/group). The data show that the basal levels of autophagy were unaltered in the striatum of BACHD mice. The data in the graphs are expressed as mean ± SEM, relative to the 2 months wt controls. The Western blots are representative of one sample for each group.
