Inositol, neural tube closure and the prevention of neural tube defects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Susceptibility to neural tube defects (NTDs), such as anencephaly and spina bifida is influenced by genetic and environmental factors including maternal nutrition.

Exogenously applied D-pinitol and D-chiro-inositol modifies the accumulation of α-D-galactosides in developing tiny vetch (Vicia hirsuta [L.] S.F. Gray) seeds

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011
In the present study we have investigated the effect of exogenous cyclitols on the accumulation of their galactosides and raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), as well as on some enzymes important for their biosynthesis in seeds of tiny vetch (Vicia ...

The Impact of Phytases on the Release of Bioactive Inositols, the Profile of Inositol Phosphates, and the Release of Selected Minerals in the Technology of Buckwheat Beer Production

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
A relatively high concentration of phytate in buckwheat malt, and the low activity of endogenous buckwheat phytases, both of which limit the effective use of substrates (starch, proteins, minerals) for fermentation and yeast metabolism, gives rise to the

Inositol as putative integrative treatment for PCOS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Studies over the last decade have demonstrated that some polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients have abnormal insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance), independently from being overweight or obese.

D-chiro-inositol increases antioxidant capacity and longevity of Caenorhabditis elegans via activating Nrf-2/SKN-1 and FOXO/DAF-16

open access: yesExperimental Gerontology, 2023
D-chiro-inositol (DCI) is an isomer of inositol, abundant in many foods, such as beans and buckwheat, with insulin-sensitizing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects.

Absorption and biosynthesis of D‐chiro‐inositol in mice

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2009
D‐chiro‐inositol (DCI) is known to possess insulin‐like properties. Mice were fed with either regular chow (control group) or DCI‐free diet over a five‐week period. The levels of DCI declined significantly in plasma (1.91 ± 0.17 to 0.056 ± 0.0 μM), stool (20.2 ± 6 to 0.147 ± 0.05 nmoles) and urine (27.39 ± 8.2 ...

D-chiro-Inositol and Pinitol Extend the Life Span of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, 2012
D-chiro-inositol, a member of the inositol family, and pinitol, a 3-methoxy analogue of D-chiro-inositol, have been proposed to have antidiabetic, antiinflammatory, anticancer and stamina enhancing effects. We found that supplementing the diet of Drosophila with D-chiro-inositol and pinitol extended adult longevity in both male and female flies.

Efficiency of the D-chiro-inositol for the polycystic ovary syndrome

open access: yesReproductive Endocrinology, 2019
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that develops in 10–15% of reproductive aged women. Over the past two decades, the inositol effectiveness in normalizing the clinical and hormonal disorders associated with PCOS has been actively studied.
