Scientists in the United Kingdom are reporting new evidence that humans can make their own salicylic acid (SA) — the material formed when aspirin breaks down in the body. SA, which is responsible for aspirin's renowned effects in relieving pain and inflammation, may be the first in a new class of bioregulators, according to a new study. In the report, Gwendoline Baxter discusses how their past research revealed that SA exists in the blood of people who have not recently taken aspirin. (source: sciencedaily.com)
