From: Decreased ovarian function and autophagy gene methylation in aging rats
mRNA expression of autophagy-related genes in the ovaries of rats. (a-e) mRNA expression levels of Atg5, Atg12, Atg16L, Lc3B and Beclin1.Compared to those in 6 M and 12 M rats, the mRNA expression levels of Atg5, Atg12, Atg16L, Beclin1 and Lc3B in 24 M rats were significantly decreased. 6 M: 6-month-old, 12 M: 12-month-old, 24 M: 24-month-old. Compared with 6 M rats, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01; compared with 12 M rats, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001
