Please have a look at the omega three and six posts.
The chemical pathways of fats is what aspirin blocks.
High omega six and low three is linked with a whole range of inflammatory conditions including asthma.
There are lots of trials. This one is in language that is understandable to us the lay people.

ABSTRACT
"Clinically important anti-inflammatory effects in man are further suggested by trials demonstrating benefits of n-3 fatty acids in rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disorders. Given the evidence relating progression of atherosclerosis to chronic inflammation, the n-3 fatty acids may play an important role via modulation of the inflammatory processes."
