α-Tocopherol rescues lipid-induced impairment of autophagy via mTOR/ULK1 signaling in macrophages.
In vitro findings suggest that α-TOC reduces lipid accumulation and inhibits foam cell formation in macrophages by enhancing autophagic activity in association with reduced mTOR phosphorylation and increased ULK1 Ser555 phosphorylation.
