Mouse study shows Ibuprofen may make old lungs look young | Fox News

Mouse study shows Ibuprofen may make old lungs look young | Fox News: Research conducted by my team at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center using old mice showed that the lungs become more inflamed with age. Cells isolated from the lungs had more gene expression for pro-inflammatory pathways, as well as an increase in pro-inflammatory proteins within the lungs themselves.

We fed old mice a diet supplemented with ibuprofen and found that this simple change could lower lung inflammation. The inflammatory proteins in cells from old mice resembled levels in young mice. Essentially, ibuprofen made the lungs of old mice look young
