Myo-inositol is involved in metabolic changes that characterize Down syndrome
This study shows that Down syndrome metabolic changes occur very early in the fetal life, with amniotic fluid myo-inositol concentrations increasing since the mid-trimester. A possible clinical use of this finding maybe interesting

MorePCOS is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting women and it is characterized by a combination of hyper-androgenism, chronic anovulation, and insulin resistance. While a significant progress has recently been made in the diagnosis for PCOS, the optimal infertility treatment remains to be determined. Two inositol isomers, myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiro-inositol …
MoreOBJECTIVE: Neuropathic pain during pregnancy is a common condition due to the physical changes and compression around pregnancy and childbirth that make pregnant women more prone to develop several medical conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, meralgia paraesthetica and other nerve entrapment syndromes. Most of the treatments usually performed to counteract neuropathic pain are …
MoreLa storia dell’inositolo è una storia complessa: nel 1850 Johanes Joseph Scherer isolò dal muscolo un esaidrocicloesano a cui diede il nome di inositolo 1 (dal greco inos= muscolo). La struttura del cicloesano permette la formazione di nove diversi stereoisomeri. Tra essi, ii myo-inositolo è l’isomero di gran lunga più distribuito in natura …
MorePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance. It is the main cause of infertility due to the menstrual dysfunction and metabolic disorders. Women with PCOS also have an increased cardiovascular risk because of dyslipidemia and …
MoreOBJECTIVE: More than 60% of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles do not result in pregnancy. Several studies have been carried out in order to identify factors affecting the IVF outcome. The main factors influencing IVF outcome are oocyte and embryo quality. Indeed, the only way to improve IVF success rate is toimprove oocyte …
