Attributed extracts from the research record
“A 12-week restorative Iyengar yoga intervention reduced inflammation-related gene expression in breast cancer survivors with persistent fatigue. These findings suggest that a targeted yoga program may have beneficial effects on inflammatory activity in this patient population, with potential relevance for behavioral and physical health.”
“the yoga group showed reduced activity of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF- κ B)”
