How different is aspirin from salsate? From what I researched salsate is a part of salicylates and is shown to lower insulin resistance,reverse prediabetes, etc. Does aspirin do this also?
Conclusion
As shown in this review, salsalate therapy at the dose of 3 g to 4.5 g daily can lower insulin resistance and reduce the levels of glucose, triglycerides, and free fatty acid concentrations with minimal side effects. This inexpensive medication could be a useful option in the treatment of prediabetes. Larger clinical trials are needed, but the data are encouraging and should lay the foundation for further investigation and grant funding.
