Fasting-induced FGF21 signaling activates hepatic autophagy and lipid degradation via JMJD3 histone demethylase

Fasting induces hepatic autophagy to preserve energy homeostasis. Here the authors report that fasting induced fibroblast growth factor 21 signalling induces autophagy by activating lysine-specific demethylase 6B, leading to histone demethylation mediated activation of autophagy genes.
