A circadian rhythm-restricted diet regulates autophagy to improve cognitive function and prolong lifespan
Biosci Trends. 2023 Sep 17. doi: 10.5582/bst.2023.01221. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiet and circadian rhythms have been found to have a profound impact on health, disease, and aging. Skipping breakfast, eating late, and overeating have adverse effects on the body's metabolism and increase the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Disturbance of circadian rhythms has been associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other diseases. Abnormal deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) and tau proteins in the brain and impaired synaptic function are linked to cognitive dysfu...

Influence of intermittent fasting on autophagy in the liver
Biosci Trends. 2023 Sep 1. doi: 10.5582/bst.2023.01207. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStudies have found that intermittent fasting (IF) can prevent diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and neuropathy, while in humans it has helped to alleviate metabolic syndrome, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, and many other disorders. IF involves a series of coordinated metabolic and hormonal changes to maintain the organism's metabolic balance and cellular homeostasis. More importantly, IF can activate hepatic autophagy, which is important for maintaining cellular homeostasis and energy balance, quality control, cell and ...
