The Protective Effect of Cordycepin on D-Galactosamine/Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Liver Injury

<div>Cordycepin blocks excessive autophagy. Murine liver tissues were collected at 5 h after injected with GalN (700 mg/kg)/LPS (15 <i>μ</i>g/kg). (a) Electron microscope analysis of liver tissues. Red arrows denote autophagosomes. White arrows denote autolysosomes. N: nucleus; M: mitochondria. Bars: 1 <i>μ</i>m. (b) Immunoblot analysis of LC3 and p62 protein expressions (<i>n</i> = 5). Each value is mean ± SEM.</div>
