It is known that fatty acids from fish fat (omega-3, etc.) help fight many diseases: heart attacks, asthma,... All have to do with inflammation.

As they have seen that if in addition to these fats, aspirin is taken, the benefit is even more evident, since omega-3 fatty acids become lipids that reduce inflammation and this transformation occurs more quickly when aspirin intervenes.

It is now being investigated about these lipids, which are expected to be used as synthesized drugs in the laboratory.
