unctional role
Valine is one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins, chemically named 2-amino-3-methylbutyric acid, which belongs to the branched chain amino acid, is also an essential 8 amino acids and glycogenetic amino acids for the human body, it works together with two other high concentration amino acids (isoleucine and leucine) to promote normal growth of the body, repair tissues, regulate blood sugar, and provide needed energy. During intense physical activity, valine can give muscles extra energy to produce glucose to prevent muscle weakness. It also helps remove excess nitrogen (potential toxins) from the liver and transport nitrogen needed by the body to various parts. [4]
Valine is an essential amino acid, which means that the body cannot produce it on its own and must be supplemented through dietary sources. Its natural food sources include grains, dairy products, shiitakes, mushrooms, peanuts, soy protein, and meat. D-valine is also found in some actinomycins (such as valerin). Although most people can get sufficient amounts from their diet, cases of valine deficiency are not uncommon. When valine is insufficient, the central nervous system function of rats will be disturbed, ataxia and limb tremor will occur. It was found that there was degeneration of red nucleus cells in the brain tissue by dissection. Patients with advanced cirrhosis were prone to hyperinsulinemia due to liver function impairment, resulting in reduced blood branched-chain amino acids, and the ratio of branched-chain amino acids to aromatic amino acids decreased from 3.0 to 3.5 in normal people to 1.0 to 1.5. Injections of branched chain amino acids such as valine are often used to treat liver failure and damage to these organs caused by alcohol and drug abuse. [4] In addition, it can also be used as a therapeutic agent to speed up the healing of wounds.
