Abstract
Liver is the largest human digestive gland and the most important metabolic organ. When autophagy was proposed during studying liver lysosomes in the 1960s, it was found that nutrient levels and hormones could influence autophagy activity. Recent studies show that autophagy is not only normal physiological processes, but also involved in the regulation of many pathological processes. This article summarizes the role of liver autophagy in the maintenance of homeostasis in the healthy liver, and provides new ideas for liver physiology and treating diseases associated with autophagy disorders.
