Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Myo-Inositol (MI) is one o the most abundant metabolites in the human brain located mainly in glial cells and functions as an osmolyte. its concentration is altered in many brain disorders. MI is a key precursor of membrane phospho-inositides and phospholipids and it is also involved in cell membrane and myelin sheet structure the addition of myo-inositol to folic acid in non PCOS-patients undergoing multiple follicular stimulation for in-vitro fertilization may reduc the numbers of mature oocytes an the dosage of rFSH whilst maintaining clinical pregnancy rat.
• In Vitro:
  In vitro, Myo-Inositol is able to improv the sperm mitochondrial function in patients with altered sperm parameter.
