Abstract
Fasting triggers metabolic adaptations in the liver that are influenced by glucagon and autophagy.
- Glucagon promotes liver glucose production and fat breakdown during fasting.
- The transcription factor Foxo1 plays a role in regulating these metabolic processes.
- Autophagy is activated during fasting and helps recycle cellular components for energy.
- The relationship between autophagy and glucagon-Foxo1 signaling in liver metabolism is not yet fully understood.
