Interleukin 6 News and Research

RSS

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "IL6" gene. IL-6 is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine. It is secreted by T cells and macrophages to stimulate immune response to trauma, especially burns or other tissue damage leading to inflammation.

Can intermittent fasting tackle obesity-related inflammation?

Research reviews the effects of two forms of intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating (TRE) and alternate-day fasting (ADF), on body weight and key circulating inflammatory markers (CRP, TNF-alpha, and IL-6) in adults with obesity. The results suggest that intermittent fasting has little or no effect on key inflammatory markers, but more research is needed to confirm these findings.
