Abstract

Findings suggest that cytokine genes are involved in the mechanisms that underlie chronic decrements in energy in women following breast cancer surgery. Given the roles of subcutaneous and visceral adipose and thyroid tissues in metabolism and energy balance, the findings related to IL6 suggest that these polymorphisms may have a functional role in the development and maintenance of chronic decrements in energy.
