Charles
H. Hennekens, M.D., DrPH, the first Sir Richard Doll Research Professor
in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic
University, has published the results of A Randomized Trial of Aspirin
at Clinically Relevant Doses and Nitric Oxide Formation in Humans in the
current issue of the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and
Therapeutics. These are the first data in humans to show that all doses
of aspirin used in clinical practice increase nitric oxide. Nitric
oxide is released from the blood vessel wall and may decrease the
development and progression of plaques leading to heart attacks and
strokes. ..
