Abstract
Autophagy is a ubiquitous physiological process that occurs in all eukaryotic cells. It can be induced by starvation, ischemia/reperfusion injury and heart failure. Rational autophagy in cardiac cells during ischemia/reperfusion helps to keep cellular homeostasis, and inhibit the cell loss. However, inappropriate activation of autophagy leads to cell death.
