Aspirin/Ibuprofen in ECA

[maverickLA]

The added aspirin also helps to inhibit lipogenesis by blocking the incorporation of acetate into fatty acids.

This seems to be why aspirin is included in the ECA stack. I'm curious, will ibuprofen have the same effect as aspirin? I ask due to slight patella tendonitis and the need for a anti-inflammatory a little stronger than aspirin. This is of course assuming ibuprofen is stronger than aspirin in this regard. Any thoughts?

no

in the context of ECA, the aspirin isnt beneficial for the non-obese anyway.

Agreed. Looks like the majority of research shows no difference in using aspirin in the stack.

Moreover, aspirin reduces protein synthesis.

Antipyretics reduce body temperature in situations such as fever.[1] However, they will not affect the normal body temperature if one does not have fever.

Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override an interleukin-induced increase in temperature. The body will then work to lower the temperature and the result is a reduction in fever.

Most are also used for other purposes. For example, the most common antipyretics in the United States are aspirin and paracetamol (acetaminophen), which are used primarily as pain relievers. NSAIDs are antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and pain relievers. There is some debate over the appropriate use of such medications: fever is part of the body's immune response to infection.

That said - wouldn't aspirin actually work against you losing bodyfat due to body temperature regulation?
