How much does autophagy increase?

Hi all, I have a question I can't seem to find an answer to online and I was hoping this community might be able to help me answer it. So autophagy is happening all the time, but it increases during fasting, but by a factor of what? How much more autophagy takes place when fasting compared to not fasting? ​ Many thanks in advance :)
