Inhibition of Prostaglandin-Degrading Enzyme 15-PGDH Rejuvenates Aged Muscle Mass and Strength

The authors identified elevated 15-PGDH, the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)–degrading enzyme, as a hallmark of aged tissues, including skeletal muscle. The resulting reduction in PGE2 signaling was a major contributor to muscle atrophy in aged mice and resulted from 15-PGDH-expressing myofibers and interstitial cells within muscle.
