The study shows AKT1 upregulation alongside decreased LC3B and Beclin1, suggesting autophagy suppression. This contradicts established knowledge that AKT1 generally promotes autophagy initiation. Understanding this paradox is crucial for interpreting environmental toxicant effects on cellular homeostasis.
