Prostaglandins are the natural hormones in the body responsible for inflammation and swelling.
Aspirin inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins so the inflammation response is reduced. Monoamine oxidase is an enzyme that destroys these two monoamines and can reduce their levels too much. Inhibition of monoamine oxidase prevents monoamine levels from falling too low. After serotonin is released into the synapse it is returned to the neuron by reuptake transport proteins. The serotonin reuptake inhibitors also bind to this transport protein thus preventing serontonin from binding and causing serotonin levels to rise.
