| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Norvaline mediates physiological and pathophysiological processes promoting nitric oxide production. It is used to treat Alzheimer′s disease and is effective against artificial metabolic syndrome in rats. Norvaline exhibits phase transition upon cooling below 190 K and hence it is useful in molecular machines. |
