Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) causes severe brain injury in aged rats. Autophagy occurs in the brain after ICH, and the present study examined the effects of aging on autophagy after ICH. Aged (18-22-month) and young (4-6-month) male Fischer rats received an intracerebral injection of 100-mu L autologous whole blood. Rats were killed at day 7 for Western blot analysis to measure microtubule-associated protein light chain-3 (LC3), a biomarker of autophagosome, and cathepsin D, a lysosomal biomarker. Rats were killed at 11 weeks after ICH for brain histology. Age-related changes in neurological deficits were also examined. Western blotting showed that the LC3-I/LC3-II conversion ratio in the ipsilateral basal ganglia was higher in aged compared to young rats (p
