The Effects of Inositol on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Abstract:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine condition in the reproductive period of women. In the last years, significant progress has been made in understanding the etiology and pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease. This multifactorial entity is associated with complex hormonal, infertility and metabolic aspects that require a proper medical approach and a therapeutic strategy. The increased concentration of androgens, ovulation disorders, and polycystic ovarian morphology belong to the classic picture of PCOS. Insulin resistance (IR) and related compensatory hyperinsulinemia in PCOS underlie inositol therapy, known as insulin second messengers. These molecules with insulin-mimetic properties enhance insulin sensitivity, leading to a reduction of glucose and insulin blood levels. Choosing Myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI) as a therapeutic option involves understanding their physiological properties and mechanisms through which they improve insulin resistance. This article focuses on recent data from the literature that supports the effectiveness and safeness of inositol treatment in combating endocrine and metabolic disorders of this syndrome.
