Answer to Question 1

The most familiar compound affecting bleeding through platelet function is salicylic acid or aspirin. Aspirin affects the cyclooxygenase enzyme systems that produce thromboxanes from arachidonic acid. It is common knowledge that daily aspirin dosing for the prevention of heart attacks or for chronic pain can lead to gastrointestinal bleeding and substantial blood losses. Anemia can be seen as a result of prolonged occult (hidden) bleeding.
