Timer interruption and pwm power consumption

Does anybody know the relationship between the frequency of an interrupt timer/a pwm signal and the power consumption? 

Thanks a lot

    can i reduce the power consumption reducing the frequency of a pwm ? 

     You can reduce some of the current consumption by reducing the frequency of the PWM, but again it depends on the load impedance.

    i am using the pwm to create a breathing feeling in a couple of LEDs. Which is the correct frequency for that ? ( because i am using randomply 1Khz) 

     It depends, there's no one frequency that is best for all use-cases. I suggest you ask the manufacturer of your LED's.
