Part Description
LP29074-9 Inositol.free
Inositol (formula C6H12O6 or (-CHOH-)6), or hexahydroxycyclohexane, is a sixfold alcohol (polyol) of cyclohexane. It exists in nine possible stereoisomers, of which the most prominent is free inositol, or myo-Inositol. Myo-inositol is incorporated into phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates, playing an important role as the structural basis for a number of secondary messengers in eukaryotic cells. Inositol supplements have been tested as a pharmacological intervention for a variety of conditions including bulimia, depression, panic disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Increased levels of myo-inositol in urine have been reported in diabetics (both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent). Quantification of myo-inositol is possible by various methods, including enzymatic assays, magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
