Much of our understanding of fasting-induced autophagy has been translated from animal studies. Autophagy is not an on/off switch — instead, it is much more similar to a dimmer that gradually illuminates as your fast duration increases past 16 hours of fasting. According to clinicalresearch, yo...
A common example is the 16/8 method, which involves fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window. Eat-Stop-Eat (ESE): This strategy involves a complete 24-hour fast once or twice a week. During the fasting period, you can consume water, unsweetened black coffee, or tea. ...
Ramping up your intermittent fasting and doing a 16-18 hour daily fast with a weekly 24-48 hour fast can also be a great weekly stimulator of autophagy to keep the body cleaned up. The key with intermittent fasting is that when you are in your eating window, you want to eat well and ...
However, you can stimulate autophagy in other ways. Doing a partial fast or a Fasting Mimicking Diet for 5 days every one or two months can have a serious impact on autophagy. Intermittent fasting strategies that restrict meals to a 6-8 hour or less eating period also stimulates a healthy ...
mRNA expression levels were determined with real- time PCR using the DDCt method with the KAPA SYBR fast qPCR Master Mix (KAPA Biosystems) and the following primer sets: Cxcl1 (forward: 50-TGGGA TTCACCTCAAGAACA-30, reverse: 50-TTTCTGAACCAAGGGAGCTT-30), Cxcl2 (forward: 50-CCACCAACCAC...
For an effective separation of the two forms, we recommend using a 16% or a 4-20% gradient gel. If running a 16% gel, ensure the gel is not over-run. The LC3 protein may run off the gel due to its fast mobility/low molecular weight. Using a lower gel percentage, loading high ...

S3). Although this upregulation might appear fast considering a reported maturation half-time of more than 30 min (41), other studies have shown faster CP maturation (42). The reduction in proteasome levels at later time points was accompanied by an increase in a faster-migrating GFP species...
We thank the Center for Advanced Imaging (CAi) at the University Düsseldorf for providing access to the Zeiss LSM 880 Airyscan Fast. We are grateful to Reinhard Jahn and Alex Stein for continuous advice over the course of this project, and access to the DLS equipment. This work was ...
Importantly, this acceleration by ND was best revealed under conditions of BAF treatment, reflect- ing the previously reported fast turnover of formed autophagosomes (i.e. autophagic flux) [35]. The addition of BAF increased the vesicle size as well as the vesicle count of lysosomes, most ...
