自噬与油脂代谢关系的研究进展

utophagy is a degradation process through the actions of lysosomes, which exists widely in eukaryotic cells and involves in many biological functions. Autophagy helps to break down the cellular components during starvation as an adaptive response to survival. In recent years, an increasing body of research addressed the physiological and pathological roles of autophagy and the underlying mechanism. This review summerize briefly advances in study on the relationship between autophagy and fat metabolism(mainly on lipid droplets motion).
