The use of D-chiro-Inositol in clinical practice.
European review for medical and pharmacological sciences, 2021 D-chiro-Inositol has been widely used in clinical practice to induce ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Only recent evidence established that this molecule acts through two different mechanisms, with potentially different outcomes.

D-chiro-inositol metabolism in diabetes mellitus. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1993 D-chiro-inositol is a rare inositol isomer present in inositol phosphoglycans which are proposed mediators of insulin action. To study D-chiro-inositol metabolism in diabetes mellitus, a sensitive and specific assay was developed using negative-ion chemical ionization gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

From Myo-inositol to D-chiro-inositol molecular pathways.
European review for medical and pharmacological sciences, 2021 Inositol is a carbocyclic sugar polyalcohol. By epimerization of its hydroxyl groups, nine possible stereoisomers can be generated, two of major physiological and clinical relevance: myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol. Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol are normally stored in kidney, brain and liver and are necessary for functions, such as signal ...
