Correlation between renal function, autophagy, and Hcy level in human. (a, b) Correlation between serum urea, creatinine, and Hcy level, respectively (urea: , ; creatinine: , ; ). (c) Correlation between urea and Hcy (Beclin-1: 0-2.0 ng/mL, , , ). (d) Correlation between urea and Hcy (Beclin-1: 2.0-6.0 ng/mL, , , ). (e) Correlation between creatinine and Hcy (Beclin-1: 0-1.6 ng/mL, , , ). (f) Correlation between creatinine and Hcy (Beclin-1: 1.6-7.0 ng/mL, , , ). Crea: creatinine.
