The biological functions and metabolic pathways of valine in swine

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023
Valine is an essential amino acid and a type of branched-chain amino acid. Due to the involvement of branched-chain amino acids in various metabolic pathways, there has been a surge of interests in valine nutrition and its role in animal physiology.

Xenogeneic, extracorporeal liver perfusion in primates improves the ratio of branched-chain amino acids to aromatic amino acids (Fischer's ratio) [PDF]

, 1999
In fulminant hepatic failure (FHF), the development of hepatic encephalopathy is associated with grossly abnormal concentrations of plasma amino acids (PAA).

Production of d-Branched-Chain Amino Acids by Lactic Acid Bacteria Carrying Homologs to Isoleucine 2-Epimerase of Lactobacillus buchneri

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Isoleucine 2-epimerase (ILEP) is a novel branched-chain amino acid racemase isolated from Lactobacillus buchneri. In this study, we examined production of free d-branched-chain amino acids such as d-valine, d-leucine, and d-allo-isoleucine, using lactic ...

Immunometabolism – The Role of Branched-Chain Amino Acids

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Immunometabolism has been the focus of extensive research over the last years, especially in terms of augmenting anti-tumor immune responses. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a subset of CD4+ T cells, which have been known for their immunosuppressive roles

Pancreatic hormones and amino acid levels following liver transplantation [PDF]

, 1987
Glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia, peripheral insulin resistance and hyperglucagonemia are common in patients with advanced liver disease. These abnormalities in the plasma levels of the pancreatic hormones, insulin and glucagon have been thought to ...

Dataset describing the amino acid catabolism of Thermoanaerobacter strain AK85: The influence of culture conditions on end product formation

Data in Brief, 2019
The dataset describes the catabolism of the 20 proteogenics amino acids and their end products by Thermoanaerobacter strain AK85 under different electron scavenging conditions with an emphasis on the branched-chain amino acids as reported in Scully and ...

Production and characterization of murine models of classic and intermediate maple syrup urine disease [PDF]

, 2006
Background Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by a deficiency of branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase. MSUD has several clinical phenotypes depending on the degree of enzyme deficiency.

Ammonia toxicity to the brain and creatine. [PDF]

, 2004
Symptoms of hyperammonemia are age-dependent and some are reversible. Multiple mechanisms are involved. Hyperammonemia increases the uptake of tryptophan into the brain by activation of the L-system carrier while brain glutamine plays a still undefined ...
