Does ticagrelor reduce pulmonary neutrophil recruitment and lung damage in a murine model of abdominal sepsis?
Ticagrelor reduces pulmonary neutrophil recruitment and lung damage in a murine model of abdominal sepsis, highlighting its potential anti-inflammatory effects beyond platelet inhibition.
Rahman et al. (2013) studied Abdominal sepsis. Ticagrelor vs. Vehicle was evaluated on Pulmonary infiltration of neutrophils and lung damage score. Ticagrelor reduced pulmonary infiltration of neutrophils by 50% and decreased lung damage score by 41% in a mouse model of abdominal sepsis.
