And we really know in that study that arachidonic acid doesn't change inflammatory markers because their baseline CRP not only didn't change but was completely optimal.
PGE2 release PGE2 release comes from the arachidonic acid pathway.
The omega-6 dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) serves as a building block for series 1 prostaglandins (e.g. anti-inflammatory PGE1), whereas arachidonic acid (AA) serves as a building block for series 2 prostaglandins (e.g. pro-inflammatory PGE 2).
In other words, exogenous factors cause release of endogenous factors, which, in turn, activate the arachidonic acid pathway.
Research suggests, however, that the omega-6 arachidonic acid (AA) and the omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are the only fatty acids that are truly essential.”
