Temperature-dependence of stress-induced hepatic autophagy.
In rats, restraint for 48 h elicits hepatic glycogen depletin, autophagy and other ultrastructural changes (e.g. mitochondrial enlargement and rough endoplasmic reticulum disorganization) associated with marked hypothermia. By restoring the body temperature of these animals, all the hepatocytic alterations are abolished.
