Ischemic postconditioning (IPostC) is a promising protective mechanism for combating reperfusion injury. However, the role of autophagy in the protective effects of IPostC and the associated signaling pathways have remained to be elucidated. Male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to 30 min ischemia and 1, 2, 3, 6, 12…
