Ibuprofen may lower lung inflammation
WASHINGTON: Ibuprofen may lower lung inflammation and help elderly fight tuberculosis bacteria, a new study has found. Immune cells from old mouse lungs fought tuberculosis bacteria as effectively as cells from young mice after lung inflammation was reduced by ibuprofen, researchers from Ohio State University found. The ibuprofen had no effect on the immune response to TB in young mice, the study found. "Very few researchers have linked inflammation to infectious disease in old age, even though TB in particular will drive that inflammation even further," said Joanne Turner, associate professor of microbial infection and immunity at Ohio State and senior author of the study. In the study, the researchers compared lung cells from old and young mice and found that in the old mice, genes that make three classic pro-inflammatory proteins, called cytokines, were more active in the lungs of old mice. The cytokines are interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis … [Read more...] about Ibuprofen may lower lung inflammation
