AKT/mTOR pathway was involved in the suppression of CORT-induced autophagy of PC12 cells by CGA. a Changes in the expression of P-AKT were examined by Western blot in PC12 cells (n = 3). b Changes in the expression of P-mTOR were examined by Western blot in PC12 cells (n = 3). c Densitometric values of P-AKT were quantified using the AlphaEaseFC software. d Densitometric values of P-mTOR were quantified using the AlphaEaseFC software. Data are presented as mean ± SD. ^# P < 0.05, ^## P < 0.01, ^### P < 0.001 compared with the vehicle group.* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 compared with the CORT group
