In this study on mouse preputial glands, suppressing ATG7-dependent autophagy delayed age-related changes, affected lipid metabolism, and reduced pheromone production, highlighting autophagy's roles in glandular homeostasis and cell breakdown.

This study found that inhibiting autophagy in mouse preputial glands alters lipid metabolism, delays aging-related duct changes, and reduces pheromone production, indicating autophagy's critical role in gland homeostasis and cell breakdown during secretion.

The researchers reported that autophagy, a lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism, plays a significant role in the cellular remodeling of keratinocyte differentiation in the skin, affecting the properties of the differentiation products by altering cellular components during this process.

This study found that autophagy plays a role in sebaceous gland function and sebum composition control in mice lacking the Atg7 gene in keratinocytes.

This study found that autophagy in the preputial glands of mice plays a crucial role in regulating lipid and fatty acid metabolism, as well as pheromone production.
