Inositol possesses antifibrotic activity and mitigates pulmonary fibrosis
Background Myo-inositol (or inositol) and its derivatives not only function as important metabolites for multiple cellular processes but also act as co-factors and second messengers in signaling pathways. Although inositol supplementation has been widely

Defining Signal Transduction by Inositol Phosphates [PDF]
Ins(1,4,5)P(3) is a classical intracellular messenger: stimulus-dependent changes in its levels elicits biological effects through its release of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. The Ins(1,4,5)P(3) response is "switched off" by its metabolism to a range of additional inositol phosphates.

2-O-Acetyl-3,4,5,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-myo-inosityl diphenylphosphate: a new useful intermediate to inositol phosphate and phospholipids [PDF]
Inositol phosphates and inositol phospholipids are ubiquitous in biochemistry and play a central role in cell signaling and regulation events. For this reason, their synthesis has attracted widespread interest.

Identification and characterization of insulin-like growth factor receptors on adult rat cardiac myocytes: linkage to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation. [PDF]
Cultured cardiac myocytes from adult Sprague-Dawley rats express both insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptors and insulin-like growth factor-II/mannose 6-phosphate (IGF-II/Man6P) receptors and respond to IGF-I with a dose-dependent accumulation of

Inositol pyrophosphates and their unique metabolic complexity: analysis by gel electrophoresis. [PDF]
Inositol pyrophosphates are a recently characterized cell signalling molecules responsible for the pyrophosphorylation of protein substrates. Though likely involved in a wide range of cellular functions, the study of inositol pyrophosphates has suffered ...

A Role for Inositol Pyrophosphates in the Metabolic Adaptations to Low Phosphate in Arabidopsis
Phosphate is a major plant macronutrient and low phosphate availability severely limits global crop productivity. In Arabidopsis, a key regulator of the transcriptional response to low phosphate, phosphate starvation response 1 (PHR1), is modulated by a ...

The Role of Inositol in Thyroid Physiology and in Subclinical Hypothyroidism Management
Myo-Inositol (MYO) is the most abundant stereoisomer of inositols’ family, cyclic polyols with 6 hydroxyl groups. Myo-Inositol has a relevant role in thyroid function and autoimmune diseases, as a precursor of phosphoinositides that takes part in the ...

Inositol Phosphate Formation and Its Relationship to Calcium Signaling [PDF]
The activation of a variety of cell surface receptors results in a biphasic increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration due to the release or mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and to the entry of Ca2+ from the extracellular space. It is well established that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis is responsible for the changes

Inositol trisphosphate 5/6 kinases (ITPK) constitute a small group of enzymes participating in the sequential phosphorylation of inositol phosphate to inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), which is a major storage form of phosphate in cereal grains.
