Scientific overview of autophagy processes--a hot topic

Autophagy explained by a true expert

-says that the aging process is largely due to a decline in autophagy but that autophagy can be increased


-mTOR (increased by weightlifting) is the "master of autophagy"


-autophagy is controlled by numerous factors including many unrelated to diet


-makes connection between glucagon (protein-induced anti-insulin hormone) and autophagy I did not know about, says this connection declines with age
