Preservation of Cognitive Function by Lepidium meyenii (Maca) Is Associated with Improvement of Mitochondrial Activity and Upregulation of Autophagy-Related Proteins in Middle-Aged Mouse Cortex

Figure 8

Maca upregulates autophagy-related proteins in cortex of middle-aged mice. The cortex was extracted from different groups of mice and subjected to Western blot analysis of LC3, Atg7, and Beclin1. (a) LC3; (b) Atg7; (c) Beclin1. Values are the mean ± SD. and versus CON.
