Why Does Aspirin Have This Effect?

I was reading this article:

and was particularly concerned about the studies in the 25th and 26th reference. They mention a decrease in testicular weight and worsening of fertility in rats receiving aspirin.

We need studies that look at longer time periods, that study only looked at ten days.

I'm not going to comb through the entire study that you posted, but I saw no mention of dosages or duration in the write-up. Not sure why you would put so much stock in that one.

Agreed, definite cause for concern there - I also remember reading another study where aspiring prevented the androgen receptor from working properly
