[ Application ]
1) Muscle Growth: 
 Arachidonic acid is an important dietary component in support of the muscle anabolic process. Arachidonic acid is a regulator of localized muscle inflammation,and may be a central nutrient controlling the intensity of the anabolic/tissue-rebuilding response to weight training.
2) Alzheimer's Disease
Supplymentation 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, and is present in similar quantities to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). 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.

About Arachidonic Acid
Arachidonic Acid is an unsaturated, essential fatty acid. It is found in animal and human fat as well as in the liver, brain, and glandular organs, and is a constituent of animal phosphatides. It is formed by the synthesis from dietary linoleic acid and is a precursor in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.
Arachidonic acid is a type of omega-6 fatty acid that is involved in inflammation. Like other omega-6 fatty acids, arachidonic acid is essential to your health. Omega-6 fatty acids help maintain your brain function and regulate growth. Eating a diet that has a combination of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids will lower your risk of developing heart disease. Arachidonic acid in particular helps regulate neuronal activity.
