“Ammonia and valine influence the activity of serotonin receptors in membranes of frontal cortex taken from brain removed at postmortem: Ammonia reduces maximal binding capacity of serotonin receptors, and this effect can be antagonized by valine.”
“A very significant reduction after treatment with L-valine could be observed in glutamine and ammonia concentration.”
“It is suggested that L-valine has some beneficial action on ammonia detoxification and has also a competing action on amino acid uptake mechanism (specially with the large neutral amino acids).”
“ Ammonia caused large stimulatory effects in incorporation of (14)C into glutamine (a factor of 21), aspartate, asparagine, valine , alanine, arginine, and histidine.”
