Valine is another branched-chain amino acid that is a constituent of fibrous protein in the body. Valine is needed for muscle metabolism and coordination, tissue repair, and maintenance of nitrogen balance. It is used by muscle tissue as an energy source. Valine is used in treatments for muscle, mental, and emotional problems; insomnia; anxiety; and liver and gallbladder disease.
| Micromole per liter | µmol/L = mcmol/L = umol/L = µM/L = mcM/L = uM/L = micromol/L |
| Milligram per liter | mg/L = millig/L = milligram/L = mg/liter |
| Milligram per deciliter | mg/dL = millig/dL = milligram/dL |
| Milligram per 100 milliliters | mg/100mL = millig/100mL = milligram/100mL |
| Milligram percent | mg% = millig% = milligram% |
| Microgram per milliliter | µg/mL = mcg/mL = ug/mL = microg/mL = microgram/mL |
