IL-6 Polymorphisms Are Not Related to Obesity Parameters in Physically Active Young Men

Abstract: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a cytokine with both pro- and anti-inflammatory actions, but is also considered as a “metabolic hormone” involved in immune responses, affecting glucose, protein and lipid metabolism. It has been proposed to be related to obesity, but various results have been presented. Thus, in this study, the very homogenous population of young, male military professionals, living in the same conditions involving high physical activity, has been selected to avoid the influence of environmental factor… Show more

“…Boeta-Lopez et al studied antiinflammatory, anti-obesity and glucose homeostatic roles of IL-6 polymorphisms and showed a relation between C allele of rs1800796 with obesity but not with rs1800797 (Boeta-Lopez, 2017). Although no association of rs1800795 and rs1800796 was found in colorectal cancer for which obesity is a risk factor, a study suggests that IL-6 polymorphisms are significant in severely affected patients but not in low-grade obesity (Maculewicz, 2021). Similar to our study, Bustamante et al emphasized the importance of IL-6R SNPs and showed that IL-6R, rs4845617, GG genotype was associated with increase of BMI and obesity in females (Bustamante, 2007).…”

“…In another report, the same authors showed a relationship between weight loss and a decrease in TNF-α mRNA levels ( p < 0.001) and, interestingly, increased IL-6 expression ( p < 0.01) in blood mononuclear cells [ 33 ]. The latter result was unexpected and probably related to the pleiotropic effect of interleukin 6, which has pro- and anti-inflammatory effects and is also referred to as the “metabolic hormone” involved in immune responses related to glucose, protein, or lipid metabolism [ 54 ]. Our study showed no significant changes in the IL-6 expression levels in WBCs after 4 weeks and after 12 weeks of the weight loss program.…”

“…In the obese adipose tissue, IL‐6 is associated with a proinflammatory state, which deteriorates insulin sensitivity and provokes obesity‐associated morbidities 7 . However, there is a lack of correlation between obesity parameters and IL6 polymorphisms in human, 84 and the lack of Il6 increases obesity development in mouse 85 . Moreover, IL‐6 stimulates adipocyte lipolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and mitobiogenesis, hence promotes beige adipocyte development 13,86,87 …”
