Rubicon Levels in Mouse Adipose Tissue Decrease with Age

Caption

(Mouse adipose tissue) The abundance of Rubicon in adipose tissue from 25-month-old mice was significantly decreased compared with that of 3-month-old mice. Levels of an autophagic substrate, p62, also decreased with age, suggesting that autophagy increases with age. β-actin was used as the protein control.
