> I disagree. Accumulation of DihommoGLA will increase arichadonic acid and result in more PGE2. GLA should be carefully supplemented.
I still need to explain more, then. You said "will increase arichadonic acid". I say can.
The increase in DGLA under GLA supplementation is spectacular, especially when in the presence of substantial EPA. The increase in AA is trivial, against the background increase already present.
The increase in DGLA concentration, compared to baseline, is by factors of orders of magnitude.
The increase in AA is a tiny percentage, when compared to baseline.
Huge increase in DGLA, but tiny risk compared to the background "normal" fatty acid flux.
