DALLAS, TX (IANS) — Low-dose acetylsalicylic acid, also known as aspirin, may reduce inflammation among people suffering from sleep loss, according to a new study on June 10.

The findings, presented at the SLEEP 2024 annual meeting shows that preemptive administration of low-dose aspirin during sleep loss reduced pro-inflammatory responses.

“Specifically, aspirin reduced interleukin-6 expression and COX-1/COX-2 double-positive cells in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated monocytes, as well as C-reactive protein serum levels,” said researchers from Harvard Medical School.

Larissa Engert, from the School’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre, said that the study investigated whether the inflammatory consequences of sleep restriction be pharmacologically reduced.
