Synopsis

This book offers a valuable mine of clinical information for health professionals and researchers. It gives an overview of the critical role played by Inositols in the therapeutic approach to common obstetrics and gynecological disorders. Inositols are a family of simple carbohydrates naturally found in several foods and human cells. There are potentially nine stereoisomers of Inositols, among them being myo-inositol (MI) and, to a lesser extent, D-chiro-inositol (DCI). These are the most important isoforms for the physiological processes in humans. They exert different actions in the control of glucose MI regulates the activation of glucose transporters and glucose utilization, while DCI modulates the glycogen synthesis.
