That's interesting... Here's what I know... having less pain helps me work out more and better, which, in turn, should lead to more muscle mass (and less fat?). So then, intuitively, IBUPROFEN = FAT LOSS! New headline!:p

That study was in elderly people - as was the other one about gender differences and protein intake I posted the other day. Both show different results from studies on younger adults. Don't have a citation off the top of my head, but some of the other media reports on this APAP/IB study reference the earlier study that showed IB slows muscle building.
