Inhibition of the mTOR Pathway Exerts Cardioprotective Effects Partly through Autophagy in CLP Rats

Figure 3

Effects of rapamycin on HIF-1a in the left ventricle 18 h after CLP. (a) The left ventricle sections stained with an anti-HIF-1a antibody. Magnification, ×200. Bar, 100 μm. (b, c) Expression of HIF-1a in the left ventricle. The left ventricle was harvested at 18 h after CLP, and HIF-1a protein levels were quantified by western blotting. Mean ± SD, six rats per group, ; .
