Figure 7 Evaluation of autophagosome counts in the Sham, lipopolysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide + esmolol, lipopolysaccharide + rapamycin, and lipopolysaccharide + 3-methyladenine groups.
A: Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the number of auto phagosomes formed in the intestinal tissue after the induction of sepsis. Blue and orange arrows denote autophagosomes. The autophagosome indicated by the orange arrow is magnified in the right panel. Magnification: × 125000; inset: × 500000; B: Autophagosome count based on transmission electron microscopy. Scale bar: 500 nm. n = 3 in each group. 3-MA: 3-methyladenine; ES: Esmolol; RAPA: Rapamycin; LPS: Lipopolysaccharide.
