Autophagy is an ubiquitous degradation system, that is conserved through species. Cells activate autophagy to degrade long-lived proteins, damaged organelles or portions of cytoplasm, that are engulfed in double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes, that ultimately fuse to lysosomes, where the cargo is degraded and breakdown products are recycled to sustain cellular energetic demands. Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in mammals and controls 80% of the blood glucose. We have recently shown that an efficient autophagy is required for muscle mass maintenance (Masiero et al., 2009). During ageing, muscles inevitably undergo atrophy, a process named sarcopenia (Rossi et al. 2008). Moreover, it has been reported that autophagy dec...
