Descrição

H-Glu(Val-OH)-OH is a synthetic form of l-glutamic acid. It increases the activity of glutamyl synthetase, which is an enzyme that regulates the synthesis of glutathione. H-Glu(Val-OH)-OH has been shown to have anticarcinogenic effects in animal studies. This compound also inhibits the synthesis of alpha-tocopherol, which is a molecule that protects against oxidative stress and is essential for maintaining cell membranes. H-Glu(Val-OH)-OH may be useful as a dietary supplement for individuals with low body mass index (BMI) or cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. H-Glu(Val-OH)-OH may be used to treat obesity by increasing energy expenditure and decreasing appetite, although it does not affect glucose levels in mice. The mechanism by which this compound affects obesity is yet unknown, but it may be due to its ability to activate proinflammatory cytokines such as TNFα
