investigated mouse mammary glands—which are structurally similar to humans. They discovered that when the Rac1 protein is present cell death occurs with autophagy—a process in which cells start eating their own parts in a desperate bid to survive. ...

The second way is calledautophagy, and it goes hand in hand with letting your body rest from digestion. Autophagy is the process that cells use to remove waste, including malfunctioning parts of cells, or even whole cells that are not functioning correctly and can’t be healed. If you have...

still isn’t well understood, but it seems to bump the heart into autophagy, which is a condition where the heart muscle cells eat their own cellular garbage for energy, thus avoiding damage.Autophagyis the direct physical benefit of fasting, in this case, imposed on the heart, thus savin...
