st: variable transformation and centering

Dear Statalisters,
I have to run a regression model with several inflammatory biomarkers
as dependent variables. They are continuous and heavily skewed
variables.
I would like to transform and center them before including in the model.
My question is: should I transform the variable first and then center
it? Or is preferred to center the variable first and then to transform
it?
Or any way doesn't make difference?
Thank you,
Eduardo
