Lipophagy. In either excess lipid load or lack of nutrients autophagy is utilized to mobilize LDs. Lipophagy in the former is to maintain LD capacity/homeostasis, and the latter for energy. Chronic lipid administration can eventually inhibit autophagosome–lysosome fusion causing an accumulation of autophagosome vesicles.
