PBM alleviates abnormal mitochondrial autophagy and promotes mitochondrial energy metabolism in mice with AD. A RT-PCR was used to detect autophagy-related protein (Beclin1, LC3II.) and glycolysis-related proteins (TSPO and HK2) in mouse brain tissues. B WB was used to detect the autophagy protein LC3II, and the oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins PGC-1α and NRF-1. C Immunohistochemical staining of mouse brains using an anti-HK2 antibody (scale bars 100 μm and 20 μm, respectively) with brown plaques of HK2. D, E WB was used to detect the glycolysis-related proteins GLUT1, PKM2, and HK2. Experimental data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. Compared with the CON group, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; Compared with the AD group, #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01
