Immobilization increased LC3 puncta in rabbit skeletal muscle. The left hind limb of male rabbits was immobilized with a plaster bandage on the left knee joint in the extension position. The rectus femoris was dissected at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after immobilization. A Representative images from control 1 group and 4-week immobilization group using immunostaining for LC3B. Scale bars represent 20 μm. B Quantitative analysis of immunostaining of LC3B. Ctrl1: control 1 group; I-4: immobilization for 4 weeks; LC3B, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3B. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. n = 6. *P < 0.05 compared with the Ctrl1 group
