what is one way ischemia can cause the reversible deposition of lipid.

what is one reversible way that proteins are digested?
occlusion - ischemia - decrease in oxidative phosphorylation - decrease ATP - detachment of ribosomes - decrease in protein synthesis - lipid deposition

decrease in ATP also leads to increase in glycolysis which decreases glycogen and pH - activates intracellular lysosymes - causing nuclear changes, protein digestion
ischemia can eventually lead to irriversible damage in cells. The decrease in pH accompanying the increase in glycosis leads to increase in degradation in internal structures by lysosymes -
