Lipophagy is defined as a lipolysis pathway that degrades lipid droplet (LD) via autophagy. All-trans retinoic acid (atRA), a metabolite of vitamin A, stimulates lipolysis through hormone-sensitive lipase and β-oxidation. However, the regulation of lipolysis by atRA-induced autophagy in adipocytes remains unclear.

Lipophagy, a form of selective autophagy, degrades lipid droplet (LD) in adipose tissue and the liver. The chemotherapeutic isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SFN) contributes to lipolysis through the activation of hormone-sensitive lipase and the browning of white adipocytes. However, the details concerning the regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes by SFN-mediated autophagy remain unclear.
