a Relative fold-changes in the mRNA levels of the genes encoding P62 as determined by qRT-PCR. b Representative images from IHC assays against P62 in the Young, the Aged and the MET. c Representative images from IHC assays against LC3 in the Young, the Aged and the MET. d Western blot analysis of AMPK, p-AMPK, ACC, p-ACC and β-actin in the Young, the Aged and the MET. Data were shown as mean ± SD and are representative of 3 independent experiments. **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 compared to the Aged. The bar represents 20 μm.
