How does Arachidonic Acid work?
Arachidonic acid, or Ara for short, is an Omega 6 fatty acid found in
the phospholipids of a body's cells (Human + Animal). Arachidonic
Acid allows for the production of eicosanoids which are signalling
molecules that exert control over inflammatory and immunity pathways.
The greater the amount of Arachidonic Acid in the body, the more
eicosanoids are produced and the greater the inflammation.
It is through these Eicosanoids that the majority of benefits seen
with Arachidonic acid and its effect on body composition are noticed
and the reason why anti-inflammatories (which downregulate eicosanoid
synthesis) are typically avoided around consumption of Arachidonic
Acid.
There are multiple subgroupings of Eicosanoids which are:
-Prostagladins
-Thromboxanes
-Lipoxins
-Leukotrienes
An increase in production of eicosanoids will lead to an increase
in the above. We however, are only seeking an increase in the
prostaglandins and desire to limit the conversion of Ara into the
other three (more on this later).
An increase in the prostaglandins PGE2 and PGF2a bought upon by
Arachidonic Acid supplementation stimulates muscle protein synthesis
after a bout of exercise.
In essence, via a lot of complicated pathways, Arachidonic Acid -->
Exercise --> PGF2a + PGE2 = GAINZZZ
