Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In rats, restraint for 48 h elicits hepatic glycogen depletion, autophagy and other ultrastructural changes (e.g. mitochondrial enlargement and rough endoplasmic reticulum disorganization) associated with marked hypothermia. By restoring the body temperature of these animals, all the hepatocytic alterations are abolished.
