L-Valine---Branched Chain Amino Acid

What is valine?

L-valine powder is a branched-chain amino acid, a white crystal or crystalline powder, no odor, slightly sweet taste, easily soluble in water, almost insoluble in ethanol. L-valine is one of the 20 kinds of amino acids that make up protein, belongs to branched chain amino acids, is one of the 8 kinds of amino acids necessary for the human body, and is a sugar-producing amino acid.

As an essential amino acid, l valine amino acid means that it cannot be produced by itself and can only be supplemented through diet. Although most people can get enough valine from their diet, there are many cases of its deficiency. When micronized l valine is insufficient, the function of the central nervous system of the brain will be disturbed, ataxia, and tremor of the limbs will occur. Synergistically with other high concentrations of amino acids (isoleucine and leucine) can promote normal development and growth of the body, repair tissue, regulate blood sugar, and provide energy for the body. In addition, valine can also treat liver disease, anti-cardiovascular disease, etc. Let’s take a look at the effects of valine powder, shall we?

Where does valine come from?

L-valine comes from natural foods such as grains, dairy products, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, peanuts, soy protein and meat.

 

What does valine powder do?(L-valine health benefits)

​​​​​​​1. Maintain the nervous system
Amino acid is a precursor of neurotransmitters, which is clinically used to reduce liver damage in the elderly and reduce central nervous system disorders. Taking a certain amount of valine can improve the central nervous system, inhibit neurological diseases, and regulate nerve myelin.
2. Promote trauma recovery
After stress in trauma patients, the concentration of amino acids in the body will undergo a series of changes, which directly affect the metabolism of amino acids in the body, and L-valine can balance nitrogen in patients, increase the level of total protein and albumin, and reduce postoperative complications.
3. Protect myocardial function
In heart failure, the gene expression of valine and branched-chain amino acid metabolism enzymes will be inhibited, resulting in defects in branched-chain amino acid metabolism, and the accumulation of branched-chain ketoacids in metabolic intermediates, which will damage the systolic function of the heart and promote heart disease recurrence. Appropriate use can relieve heart disease and reduce myocardial failure.
4. Regulate liver metabolism
Patients with chronic liver disease are often accompanied by a variety of metabolic disorders. Studies have shown that valine supplementation can relieve liver cirrhosis, reduce liver damage, and maintain normal liver metabolism.

 

5. Other functions
L-valine powder can sense the absorption of calcium, promote bone growth, accelerate brain development, promote fat burning in the body, and can also regulate the pineal gland, mammary gland, corpus luteum and ovary, prevent cell degeneration; eliminate and treat infertility infertility, etc.

 

What is the biological role of L-valine?

1. The effect of valine on protein:
Valine-branched-chain amino acid can promote protein synthesis, promote protein synthesis by promoting the initiation of polypeptide chain synthesis, degrade skeletal muscle protein, and inhibit protein degradation outside bone.
2. The effect of valine on the metabolism of the body:
Valine is an important source of energy in the body, which can promote the utilization of important gluconeogenesis amino acids and accelerate the energy conversion of liver gluconeogenesis. Supplementing valine can save muscle glycogen, make the energy of skeletal muscle last, and maintain metabolism. Promotes exercise endurance and prolongs fatigue time.
3. Effect of L-valine on animal performance:
1) Effect on poultry performance: As an essential amino acid for animals, valine powder is an essential amino acid for poultry growth and feather growth, and can effectively promote the growth of poultry.
2) Effects on pig performance: L-valine is the most important for lactating sows. Adding valine to feed can increase milk production and increase piglet weight, especially for weaned piglets.
3) The effect on the performance of ruminants: L-valine is an important nutrient in the body of dairy cows. It can regulate amino acid and protein metabolism, improve lactation performance, and help enhance immunity. Studies have confirmed that valine can provide milk for cow mammary gland tissue Provide energy and promote the growth of cattle.
4. Effect of L-valine on endocrine function:
Adding valine to the diet can affect the endocrine level of animals and increase the concentration of prolactin and growth hormone in plasma. The study also confirmed that adding valine to the diet can increase the concentration of serum prolactin in sows, and increase the concentration of insulin in skim milk and the concentration of growth hormone in skim milk.
5. Effect of L-valine on nervous function:
Pure valine powder can regulate the nervous function of animals, prevent nervous disorders, and avoid severe brain symptoms, such as convulsions.
6. Effects of L-valine on tumors:
As a branched-chain amino acid, valine plays an important role in the growth and differentiation of tumor cells, and the high uptake of valine is one of the characteristics of tumor amino acid metabolism. The growth of tumor cells requires a large amount of valine. Restriction of valine will cause energy metabolism to be blocked, adenosine triphosphate deficiency, and cell membrane permeability to increase, resulting in rapid entry of anticancer drugs into cells, interfering with cell metabolism, and accelerating tumor progression.

 

What is L-Valine used for?

1. Essential amino acids for the human body. Adult men need 10mg/(kg·d). L-valine is 2 times that of D-valine, which helps regulate nerves, treat cardiovascular diseases, and enhance skeletal muscle content. 2. As a nutritional supplement, L-valine supplement is used together with other essential amino acids to prepare amino acid infusions and comprehensive amino acid preparations. Adding an appropriate amount of valine to rice cakes can improve food flavor.
2. Valine is used in medicine as one of the components of amino acid infusion to synthesize new drugs.
3. Natural valine powder is used in biochemical research and preparation of tissue culture medium.
