Tests
The determination of the amount of leucine crystals present in a sample.
Indicators
One of nine essential amino acids in humans (provided by food), Leucine is important for protein synthesis and many metabolic functions. Leucine contributes to regulation of blood-sugar levels; growth and repair of muscle and bone tissue; growth hormone production; and wound healing. Leucine also prevents breakdown of muscle proteins after trauma or severe stress and may be beneficial for individuals with phenylketonuria. Leucine is available in many foods and deficiency is rare. (NCI04)
Tests
The determination of the amount of leucine aminopeptidase related peptide present in a biological specimen.
Tests
The determination of the amount of leucine rich alpha-2-glycoprotein 1 present in a sample.
Indicators
This gene may be involved in Golgi stabilization, embryogenesis or transcriptional regulation.
Tests
The determination of the amount of myeloid cell-specific leucine-rich glycoprotein in a sample.
Indicators
An aliphatic and extremely hydrophobic essential amino acid in humans related to leucine, Valine is found in many proteins, mostly in the interior of globular proteins helping to determine three-dimensional structure. A glycogenic amino acid, valine maintains mental vigor, muscle coordination, and emotional calm. Valine is obtained from soy, cheese, fish, meats and vegetables. Valine supplements are used for muscle growth, tissue repair, and energy. (NCI04)
