   A team led by Dr. Christian Doutremepuich from the University of Bordeaux 2 has determined that the paradoxical prothrombotic effects of ultra-low-dose aspirin, that could have beneficial properties decreasing bleeding complications of portal hypertension, are mediated by inhibition of Cyclooxygenase 2. This effect differs to the usual inhibition of Cyclooxygenase 1 at higher doses that has an antithrombotic action.
