Autophagy-associated signal pathways of functional foods for chronic diseases by Jinfeng Xie, Jiling Liang, Ning Chen

“…Once the cells are in the stress environment, the induced autophagy will accelerate the clearance of cellular damaged or toxic protein aggregates or dysfunctional cellular organelles to maintain homeostasis in cells. In this article, we summarize several widely investigated bioactive components used as functional foods, such as resveratrol, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, curcumin and trehalose, with the regulatory function for autophagy during the intervention of chronic diseases, which will provide the references or novel thoughts for the development of functional foods with the modulation of autophagy. …”
