We all know how important inflammation is for muscle growth, it's a response from the immune system to signal cell repair and building after damage to muscle fibres through the stress of a workout. Now is there anyway to increase the inflammation through supplements, aside from Arachidonic Acid?
My understanding is Essential fatty acids (EFAs), the pro-inflammatory Omega-6's control inflammation through conversion to PGE1 & PGE2, with the metabolism looking like
Linoleic Acid (LA) -----> Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA)-----> Dihomogamma Linolenic Acid (DGLA)-----> PGE1 (Mildly anabolic and anticatabolic, anti-inflammatory)
Linoleic Acid(LA) -----> Arachidonic Acid (AA) -----> PGE2 (Much more anabolic, pro-inflammatory)
I know bodybuilders who have injected PGE2 directly, but is there any other way to raise it significantly beside AA? I doubt AA is all there is.
