Valine powder is one of the essential amino acids of aquatic animals. It is very important to the nutritional and physiological functions of aquaculture.
Branched-chain amino acids regulate protein synthesis and degradation, oxidative energy supply and improving immune response in fish growth. Leucine, isoleucine, and valine are branched-chain amino acids and are among the 10 essential amino acids in fish. Oxidative metabolism is mainly carried out in the muscle tissue of the whole body, and a small part is metabolized in the liver like other amino acids.
Valine Health Benefits
1. Promote protein metabolism in fish
Studies have shown that the valine side chain promotes the initiation of polypeptide chain synthesis to promote protein synthesis and inhibit its breakdown. It comprehensively regulates protein metabolism by increasing protein content in fish muscle, increasing protein deposition rate and inhibiting protein breakdown.
2. Improve immune function
Too high or too low valine content in feed can cause immune suppression of the body. An appropriate amount of valine powder can relieve the immunosuppressive effect and improve the immunity of the animal body.
3. Strong antioxidant capacity
Valine can play an antioxidant role in the immune organs, serum, intestine and muscle of aquatic animals, improve the tolerance of oxidative stress, and reduce the level of oxidative stress.
4. Good for Gut Health
The growth of aquatic animals is inextricably linked to gut health. The intestinal barrier function and digestive ability of the intestine itself determine the barrier effect of animals on harmful substances. This also affects how well nutrients are absorbed, and can affect the type and abundance of bacteria in the gut.
Valine can synergistically promote intestinal health in two directions. It improves intestinal defense and digestive performance and regulates microflora's type and abundance.
Summary
In conclusion, valine powder has a good promoting effect on protein metabolism, immune performance, antioxidant capacity and intestinal health function of different tissues and organs of aquatic animals.
