Copper induces hepatocyte autophagy via the mammalian targets of the rapamycin signaling pathway in mice

Although copper is among the indispensable trace elements in animal physiological processes, it exerts toxicity upon over-exposure. The present study aimed to investigate hepatocyte autophagy induced by CuSO4 and its potential mechanism. A total of 240 ICR mice (four-week-old, 120 males and 120 fema...
