No delayed-onset adverse effects emerged that were not apparent in the initial weeks of treatment
However, in recent years autophagy emerged as a selective process that degrades potentially dangerous cellular materials ranging from misfolded proteins and protein aggregates to damaged mitochondria and intracellular bacteria ( 1.1 The mechanism of autophagy Generally, autophagy consists of four distinct phases: (1) initiation, (2) nucleation, (3) elongation, (4) fusion and degradation, which involve many protein complexes required for autophagosome biogenesis, trafficking, fusion with lysosomes, and cargo degradation ( 1.1.1 Initiation During the initiation of autophagy, the Unc-51-like kinase (ULK) complex, consisting of either ULK1 or ULK2 (a serine/threonine kinase), RB1-inducible coiled-coil protein 1 (FIP200), autophagy related protein 13 (ATG13) and autophagy related protein 101 (ATG101), induces the formation of autophagosomes by acting as a scaffold to recruit autophagic machinery (32)
It is, in effect, the body's own copper-transport and tissue-signaling peptide: a simple three-amino-acid chain (glycine-histidine-lysine) with a very high natural affinity for copper ions, forming a stable complex that is easily studied and reproduced synthetically for laboratory use
