Mel alleviates Cd-induced ferritinophagy in spg. (A) Lc3b mRNA. (B) Atg5 mRNA. (C)Ncoa4 mRNA. (D) LC3B protein. (E) ATG5 protein. (F) NCOA4 protein. (G–J) The representative images and relative fluorescence intensity of LC3B and NCOA4. Scale bar = 100 μm. The data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 compared to the control group. # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01 compared to the Cd group.
