Exendin-4 and Liraglutide Attenuate Glucose Toxicity-Induced Cardiac Injury through mTOR/ULK1-Dependent Autophagy

Figure 7

Effect of exendin-4 (Exe) and liraglutide (LIRA) on glucose toxicity-induced changes in the phosphorylation of mTOR and ULK1 in murine cardiomyocytes: (a) p-mTOR levels; (b) p-ULK1 levels; (c) mTOR levels; (d) ULK1 levels; (e) p-mTOR-to-mTOR ratio; (f) p-ULK1-to-ULK1 ratio. Insets: Representative pictures of mTOR, p-mTOR, ULK1, and p-ULK1 using GAPDH as the loading control. , per group, versus the NG group and versus the HG group.
