His angle is a new one, CRP. The use of aspirin intially, and as you prescribed it) is because of its effects upon reducing prostaglandins, a substance which enhances clotting. Thus, there may be two effects of aspirin: reducing clotting by reducing prostoglandins and reducing CRP.
Okay, thanks for the explanation.
Will this line of research lead to understanding why people who have diabetes are also at greater risk for heart disease? Diabestes, obesity, insulin resistance, heart disease - seems like there may be some underlying framework for all of these.
In a former life, I was actually a biology major. I've been away from it for too long now, though.
Of course, asprin takes out good prostoglandins too. That can have some bad effects. But probably worth it compared to diabeties. So probably better to control the weight and eating too much sugar and grains to begin with.
