Protein expressions of the autophagy markers in the experimental groups.

<p>Representative western blotting analyses and group data of Beclin-1 (A), Bnip3 (B), p62 (C), and Cathepsin L (D) abundance in the soleus muscle of the experimental groups. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD, *p<0.05 versus Control; ^**p<0.01 versus Control; ^#p<0.05 versus LPD+KA; ^##p<0.01 versus LPD+KA. LPD, NPD, normal protein diet; low-protein diet; LPD+KA, low-protein diet supplemented with ketoacids.
