ABSTRACT
Valine (Figure V.1) is a branched-chain, essential amino acid. It is needed for synthesis of proteins and can be used for energy production within the muscle cell as well. Metabolism of valine in the muscle results in the eventual production of propionyl CoA, which can be converted to succinyl CoA (an intermediate of Krebs cycle). https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429123825/4eb20268-ccca-478f-b784-068e4dab68b5/content/figv_1.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
