Abstract
Two types of autophagy in the podocytes were found in renal biopsy specimens by electron microscopy. Type I autophagy (about 1 microm in diameter) was found in 10 out of the 100 cases with renal diseases, and showed a condensed ribosome area with a limiting membrane. The origin of limiting membrane appeared to be from degenerated mitochondria. During type I autophagy formation, the thickness of limiting membrane changed from 5-6 nm to about 8-10...
