COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]

In my post responding to you, I cited the actual study to support what I said about it. When I said autophagy is far more complicated than you're suggesting, I linked to an overview of autophagy published in a peer-reviewed journal. That also substantiates that autophagy occurs at a basal level, and can be induced in multiple ways. And I linked to a recent study showing how viruses can induce mitophagy.

All of that you appear to have ignored.

Meanwhile, for your claim that starvation-induced autophagy would treat long Covid if it involves mitochondrial damage, and all your (largely inaccurate) claims about autophagy, you've given... a link to a press release about the award for the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, that you apparently didn't understand because it doesn't support anything you've said, stating as it does that autophagy also occurs in response to things other than starvation, and not, in any way, advocating for starvation-induced autophagy as therapy.
Your information is not current

1) You don't even know the basics in causing autophagy to occur. Caloric restriction is not what does it....one can restrict calories and still be eating foods that raise blood sugar and insulin. Glycogen in the liver must be depleted as well.

2) The study you posted is over 8 years old. Why would you choose to believe what is presented in a study done in 2014 while ignoring the more recent research I posted that won a Nobel Prize in 2018?
