  2. Aspirin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin

    When high doses are given, it may actually cause fever, owing to the heat released from the electron transport chain, as opposed to the antipyretic action of aspirin seen with lower doses. In addition, aspirin induces the formation of NO-radicals in the body, which have been shown in mice to have an independent mechanism of reducing inflammation.

  3. Mechanism of action of aspirin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_action_of_aspirin

    When high doses of aspirin are given, aspirin may actually cause hyperthermia due to the heat released from the electron transport chain, as opposed to the antipyretic action of aspirin seen with lower doses. Additionally, aspirin induces the formation of NO-radicals in the body, which have been shown in mice to have an independent mechanism of ...

  4. Lysine acetylsalicylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysine_acetylsalicylate

    Lysine acetylsalicylate, also known as aspirin DL-lysine or lysine aspirin, is a more soluble form of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). As with aspirin itself, it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic and antipyretic properties. [ 1 ]

  5. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    In terms of cell type, the body contains hundreds of different types of cells, but notably, the largest number of cells contained in a human body (though not the largest mass of cells) are not human cells, but bacteria residing in the normal human gastrointestinal tract.

  6. Oxidative phosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_phosphorylation

    Cytochrome c is also found in some bacteria, where it is located within the periplasmic space. [9] Within the inner mitochondrial membrane, the lipid-soluble electron carrier coenzyme Q10 (Q) carries both electrons and protons by a redox cycle. [10] This small benzoquinone molecule is very hydrophobic, so it diffuses freely within the membrane.

  7. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug - Wikipedia

    They suppress the production of new immune cells, but leave existing immune cells functional. [112] Large doses slowly reduce the immune response as the immune cells are renewed at a much lower rate. [112] Causing a gradual reduction of the immune system, much slower and less noticeable than the immediate effect of Corticosteroids. [112]

    During trauma surgery, tissue in the lower extremities can die, causing gangrene, in which case surgeons might have to amputate the leg at higher and higher points, first at the shin, then at the knee, then at the thigh. It’s possible for a surgeon to get distracted by the wrong wound. The most dangerous wounds don’t always look the worst.

  9. Plasma protein binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_protein_binding

    The fraction unbound can be altered by a number of variables, such as the concentration of drug in the body, the amount and quality of plasma protein, and other drugs that bind to plasma proteins. Higher drug concentrations would lead to a higher fraction unbound, because the plasma protein would be saturated with drug and any excess drug would ...
