In contrast, the DM treatment group exhibited an increasing trend in the ratio of LC3II/LC3I, significantly higher levels of p -AMPK/AMPK ( p < 0.05), and reduced levels of p -mTOR/TOR ( p < 0.01).

5 d and e, the PA group showed a decreasing trend in the LC3II/LC3I ratio, suggesting that PA induced insulin resistance and glucose metabolism disorder in HepG2 cells were associated with an inhibited autophagy activity.
