Funtion
1. Muscle Growth
ARA is an important dietary component in support of the muscle anabolic process.
2. Alzheimer's Disease
Supplementation of arachidonic acid during the early stages of this disease may actually be effective in reducing symptoms and slowing the disease progress.
3. Brain
Arachidonic acid is one of the most abundant fatty acids in the brain, Arachidonic acid helps tomaintain hippocampal ,cell membrane fluidity and helps protect the brain from oxidative stress by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma.
4. Bodybuilding Supplement
Arachidonic acid is marketed as an anabolic bodybuilding supplement in a variety of products.
Application
1. An unsaturated omega-6 fatty acid constituent of the phospholipids of cell membranes.
2. Arachidonic Acid is an essential fatty acid and a precursor in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes. Arachidonic Acid occurs in liver, brain, glandular organs, and depot fats of animals, in small amounts in human depot fats, and Arachidonic Acid is also a constituent of animal phosphatides.
3. Arachidonic acid is an ingredient with skin-smoothing, emollient, and healing properties. Arachidonic acid is an omega-6 essential fatty acid naturally occurring in the skin and considered critical for appropriate skin metabolism. It is a constituent of vitamin F.
