105 Citations | Various identified mechanisms of fasting point to its potential health-promoting effects, e. g., fasting-induced neuroendocrine activation and hormetic stress response, increased production of neurotrophic factors, reduced mitochondrial oxidative stress, general decrease of signals associated with aging, and promotion of autophagy. |
335 Citations | Short-term fasting does not result in depletion of plasma amino acids due to reduced protein synthesis and the onset of autophagy. |
38 Citations | Lastly, starvation conditions that strongly activate autophagy in astrocytes have less pronounced effects on autophagy in neurons. |

What is the relationship between intermittent fasting and autophagy?5 answersIntermittent fasting (IF) has been shown to activate autophagy in various tissues, including cardiac muscle, pancreatic islets, and liver. In skeletal muscle, the relationship between IF and autophagy is less clear, with some studies showing no activation of autophagy markers. However, IF has been found to regulate protein synthesis and breakdown in skeletal muscle, leading to the maintenance of muscle mass while reducing body fat. Autophagy plays a crucial role in the clearance of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide, a key driver of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Studies have shown that IF and caloric restriction can upregulate autophagy and contribute to the clearance of Aβ peptide, potentially providing neuroprotection in AD. Overall, intermittent fasting appears to have a complex relationship with autophagy, with its effects varying depending on the tissue and context.
