read underneath series 2 prostaglandins...
Prostaglandins
LNA and LA are metabolized into eicosanoids. Eicosanoids can be further classified as Leukotrienes, Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes. For the purpose of this article, we will only examine prostaglandins.
Prostagladins are hormone like chemicals that regulate cellular activity. Prostagadins (PGs) are categorized into one of three groups, depending on which fatty acid they were metabolized from. The groups are, Series 1 PG's, Series 2 PG's, and Series 3 PG's.
Series 1 PG's
Series 1 PG's are formed from Gamma linolenic acid (GLA), (Which is converted from LA). Series 1 PG's are labeled as "Good" prostagladins. This is because they improve blood circulation, lower blood pressure, decrease inflammation, among other cellular functions [3]. Perhaps the most crucial effect is preventing arachidonic acid (AA) from being released by cells. The reason why this is so important is because AA is what makes Series 2 PG's.
Some of the main reasons why Series 1 PG's are so important to bodybuilders and those concerned with their health are:
okay biochem guys what gives?

Some of the main reasons why Series 1 PG's are so important to bodybuilders and those concerned with their health are:
- Muscle cell protein synthesis is increased
- Insulin Sensitivity is enhanced (Meaning less insulin is needed to deliver glucose)
- Elevates Growth Hormone secretion [4]
