First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study looked at how body weight changes the way aspirin triggers special molecules that help calm inflammation. Researchers gave 103 adults aged 40-70 either aspirin or a placebo and measured these molecules in their blood. The goal was to understand if weight affects aspirin's ability to produce these healing signals, which could lead to better dosing for different people.
