Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is a medication used
to reduce pain, fever or inflammation. Many diabetics are insensitive to
aspirin’s platelet anti-aggregation effects. The possible modulating effects
of coadministration of aspirin and fish oil in subjects with diabetes are
poorly characterized. Aspirin alone and in combination with fish oil reduced
platelet aggregation in most participants. Five of 7 participants classified as
aspirin insensitive 1 week after daily aspirin ingestion were sensitive after
the combination. Although some platelet aggregation measures correlated
positively after aspirin and fish oil ingestion alone and (in combination)
in all individuals, correlation was only observed in those who were aspirin
insensitive after ingestion of the combination. However, the benefits of
combining EPA (eicosapentaenoic.. View More»
