Research Abstract

Starvation-induced autophagy compensated energy by digesting own constituents and maintained cardiac function. Autophagy emerged in acute myocardial infarction and suppressed cardiomyocyte death and limited infarct expansion. Autophagy protected progression of postinfarction cardiac remodeling and improved cardiac dysfunction. These present findings suggest that auophagy is innate and potent protective mechanism and augmenting autophagy could be a useful new therapeutic strategy for myocardial infarction.
