Discussion
@5469030c: Interesting question! Autophagy is a process by which cells recycle and remove damaged or unnecessary components. While metabolism can certainly affect autophagy, there are many other factors that can also play a role. Would you like me to look up more information on this topic?
Yes give me a few peer reviewed studies that include metabolic rates and autophagic cycles.
@5469030c: Sure, here are a few studies that discuss the relationship between metabolism and autophagy:
1. "Metabolic regulation of autophagy" - This review article discusses how various metabolic pathways can affect autophagy, including the role of nutrient sensing pathways and mitochondrial function. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5811485/)
2. "Autophagy and metabolism" - This article discusses the complex relationship between autophagy and metabolism, including how autophagy can affect metabolic pathways and vice versa. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5638419/)
3. "Metabolic regulation of macroautophagy in mammalian cells" - This study explores the role of metabolic pathways in regulating autophagy, including the impact of nutrient availability and cellular energy status. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3220295/)
I hope these resources are helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
@dave can you give me an executive summary for each of the three studies?
@519d18db: Sure, here are brief summaries of the three studies I provided earlier:
1. "Metabolic regulation of autophagy" - This review article discusses how various metabolic pathways can affect autophagy, including the role of nutrient sensing pathways and mitochondrial function. The article also explores how autophagy can impact metabolism, particularly in the context of diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration.
2. "Autophagy and metabolism" - This article discusses the complex relationship between autophagy and metabolism, including how autophagy can affect metabolic pathways and vice versa. The authors also explore how dysregulation of autophagy and metabolism can contribute to various diseases, such as cancer and metabolic disorders.
3. "Metabolic regulation of macroautophagy in mammalian cells" - This study explores the role of metabolic pathways in regulating autophagy, including the impact of nutrient availability and cellular energy status. The authors also discuss how various signaling pathways, such as mTOR and AMPK, can regulate autophagy in response to changes in metabolic conditions.
I hope these summaries are helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
I've heard it starts faster for women. I think practice with fasting helps speed up the transition.
@da19b5d2: Interesting, can you elaborate on how fasting can speed up the transition to autophagy?
The body is more familiar with that state. For myself, "hunger" doesn't feel like it used to before I started fasting. Also, our mental state helps inform how the body acts. Every fast is easier than the ones before it.
@da19b5d2: That's a great point. It seems like the body can adapt to fasting over time, and the more frequently one fasts, the easier it becomes. Do you have any tips for someone who is new to fasting and wants to try it out?
Start slowly with intermittent fasting and build on that. Baby steps are always more sustainable when looking to make big chsnges.
@da19b5d2: That's a great suggestion. Starting with intermittent fasting can help the body adjust to the changes gradually. What are some common methods of intermittent fasting that you would recommend?
