Mitochondrial autophagy involving renal injury and aging is modulated by caloric intake in aged rat kidneys.
BACKGROUND: A high-calorie (HC) diet induces renal injury and promotes aging, and calorie restriction (CR) may ameliorate these responses. However, the effects of long-term HC and CR on renal damage and aging have been not fully determined. Autophagy plays a crucial role in removing protein aggregat...
