1. Subsequently, DGLA can be further converted by inflammatory cells to 15-(S)-hydroxy-8,11,13-eicosatrienoic acid and prostaglandin E1(PGE1) It does turn into PGE1
2. These two oxidative metabolites of DGLA, have been found to exert clinical efficacy in a variety of diseases, including suppression of chronic inflammation, and vasodilation.

3. In conclusion, these results suggest that DGLA affects cytokine production by human PBMC independently of COX activation.
Tbh, I don't understand the COX-2 and cytokine science right now, but I know this is another angle of hairloss and DGLA seems to have an affect.
