Assessment of activated caspase 3, beclin-1 and LC3 in steatotic preconditioned livers. (a) Activated caspase 3 expression in the hepatocytes of a centrolobular region (arrows; × 400). Hepatocytes expressing activated caspase 3 circumscribed within the dashed lines are shown enlarged in the inset ( × 1000). (b) Beclin-1 expression in the hepatocytes located in a centrolobular region and also in the lobule ( × 400). Centrolobular hepatocytes expressing beclin-1 circumscribed within dashed lines are shown enlarged in the inset ( × 1000). (c) LC3 expression in the hepatocytes located in a centrolobular region and also in the lobule ( × 400). Centrolobular hepatocytes expressing LC3 circumscribed within dashed lines are shown enlarged in the inset ( × 1000)
