• Beschreibung: N-Acetyl-DL-leucine is a non-protein amino acid that has been shown to have a variety of pharmacological effects. It has been found to reduce neuronal death and protect against cerebellar damage. N-Acetyl-DL-leucine acts by binding to the alpha subunit of the glutamate receptor, which increases its affinity for glutamate. This leads to an increased response in neuronal cells, and the prevention of neurotoxicity. N-acetyl-l-leucine has also been shown to be effective as a treatment for vestibular disorders. However, it is only soluble at high concentrations in water, so it cannot be taken orally without first being dissolved in alcohol or another solvent.
