How to make only some part of a y axis label italic?

I am trying to label my y axis with something called a glass transition temperature. This is expressed in text as Tg (where the T needs to be italic, but the g is regular font and subscripted). I have tried ylabel('\it T_g ,[°C]') but it italicizes the entire axis label.

Any idea how to do this?

It's:

    ylabel('{\it T}_g ,[°C]')

So with {} around the text that needs to be italic.

What can be used if I want to write x_3 (kg/ms^2) in ylabel, where x_3 is in math mode and kg/ms^2 is in regular font.

I have used this one, ylabel('$x_3$ (kg/ms$^2$)','fontsize',16,'Interpreter','latex') but the font of kg/ms^2 also changed to math mode.

Thanks!

If I run your code on Matlab 2020a, I get the following:

Is this not what is required?

Code run:

xlabel('$x_3$ (kg/ms$^2$)','fontsize',16,'Interpreter','latex')
