ABSTRACT
Importance of inositols and inositol isomer ratios in therapy to improve metabolic and hormonal profile and fertility in women
Inositols, which, chemically, are cyclic sugar alcohols, are important regulators of metabolic and hormone-mediated processes. Particularly important for clinical practice are two most frequently investigated isomers: myo-inositol (MYO) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI). Both play a role in glucose and lipid metabolism, regulation of the menstrual cycle and enhancement of the quality of ova. Inositol supplementation is useful particularly in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Inositols have been shown to improve metabolic and hormonal status in women with PCOS and also restore spontaneous ovulation. Inositol also improves the efficacy of ovarian stimulation in assisted reproduction techniques (ART).
