Correlation between mitochondrial function RCR and the expression of autophagy-related proteins in the GAS skeletal muscle. Correlation of RCR with (A) LC3II/GAPDH, (B) LC3II/I ratio, (C) p62/GAPDH, (D) Beclin 1/GADPH, and (E) BNIP3/GADPH. Values were determined by densitometric quantification and are shown as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Extreme outliers were excluded. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R).
