Description

DESCRIPTION

General description

myo-Inositol (MI) is a sugar-like molecule present primarily in the glial cells of the human brain.

Application

myo-Inositol has been used:

  • in the liquid basal medium as a control for the inositol starvation of cultures
  • as a supplement in synthetic oviduct fluid medium for embryo culture
  • as a component of Fuji vitamin solution to prepare nutritive medium for the growth of sugarcane plantlets

Biochem/physiol Actions

myo-Inositol (MI) serves as an osmolyte, and it aids the formation of the cell membrane and myelin sheet structures. It functions as a crucial precursor of membrane phospho-inositides and phospholipids. Elevated concentration of myo-Inositol (MI) is observed in several brain disorders such as Alzheimer′s disease, gliomatosis cerebri, and diabetes mellitus. Myo-Inositol is a constituent of membrane phospholipids, glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors that can bind glycoproteins to cell membranes, and inositol phosphate second messengers.
