Skipping Meals, Fasting and Eating Meals Too Closely Together May Be Linked to Increased Mortality Risk

The phosphorylation of AMPKβ1 is critical for increasing autophagy and maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis in response to fatty acids

The data in this manuscript indicate a crucial role for a single phosphorylation site on the regulatory beta subunit of AMPK to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis and autophagy/mitophagy in response to increases in fatty acids. This suggests a potential unifying mechanism which may be important for mediating the beneficial effects of dietary interventions that increase free-fatty acid availability such as intermittent fasting and ketogenic diets.
