Part III of Monica M series on ARA, looking at recent studies:


Arachidonic Acid (ARA) Part III: Effects On Muscle Growth, Strength & Performance.
"The impetus for human studies on the effect of ARA supplementation on muscle growth and strength gains came from early studies on isolated animal muscle and muscle cell culture. It was found that an increase in ARA flux through the COX enzyme (either induced by stretch or ARA supplementation) promotes production of the prostaglandins PGF2-alpha and PGE2 in muscle tissue, and that PGF2-alpha potently stimulates muscle protein synthesis while PGE2 stimulates muscle degradation. What do the human studies say? "
