In pursuing health and longevity, the concept of autophagy has emerged as a key player. Autophagy, derived from Greek words meaning "self-eating," is a natural cellular process where the body removes damaged or dysfunctional components, aiding in cellular rejuvenation and overall well-being. While autophagy is...
Autophagy is essential to support skeletal muscle plasticity in response to endurance exercise. To activate the activation of autophagy during exercise, the activation of AMPK is also needed AMPK regulates both protein synthesis and breakdown pathways. AMPK has a vital role in skeletal muscle homeostasis. It’s...
There are other ways of activating autophagy without fasting and exercise. Here are some autophagy boosting foods. Sulforaphane induces autophagy through ERK activation in neuronal cells. Cruciferous vegetables and dark leafy greens like kale have sulforaphane. Azuki bean extract has been shown to reduce oxidative stress...
