Preventing mutant huntingtin proteolysis and intermittent fasting promote autophagy in models of Huntington disease

In a not so recent paper, researchers have come up with evidence that intermittent fasting may help to slow the progression of huntington's disease. Using mouse models, researchers came up with a strict feeding schedule in which food was only available for 6 hours of the day. The researchers concluded that mHTT expression could be regulated by a dietary schedule that promotes autophagy in the individual.
