How does aspirin influence prostaglandin synthesis in the body and what are the broader implications for inflammation, pain and platelet aggregation?
Aspirin inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), reducing prostaglandin synthesis. This decreases inflammation, alleviates pain, and impedes platelet aggregation.
