Acute Interleukin-6 Administration Impairs Athletic Performance in Healthy, Trained Male Runners
2004
Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology
Fatigue is an inevitable consequence of physical activity; yet its biological cause remains uncertain. During exercise, a polypeptide messenger molecule interleukin-6 (IL-6) is actively produced. Previously, the administration of recombinant IL-6 (rhIL-6) induced a heightened sensation of fatigue in healthy humans at rest.
