## Abstract Degradation and turnover of peroxisomes is reviewed. First, we describe the historical aspects of peroxisome degradation research and the two major concepts for breakdown of peroxisomes, i.e., autophagy and autolysis. Next, the comprehensive knowledge on autophagy of peroxisomes in mamm
Background: A significant reduction in peroxisomes has been demonstrated in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. This report demonstrates that 3-methyladenine (3MA), a potent inhibitor of autophagy, inhibits this effect. Methods: Hepatocytes from male Wistar rats were isolated by a two-step in situ
