Arachidonic acid（ARA） usually present in our food such as beef, chicken, eggs, or fish. It was found to be more than 15% in the adrenal phospholipid fatty acids of terrestrial animals (pigs, cattle).
Arachidonic acid（ARA）has four main functions :1. Participate in neuroendocrine 2. Regulate cardiac excitability 3. Promote cell division 4. Inhibit platelet aggregation.
