Description
Inositol, also known as cyclohexanol, hexahydroxycyclohexane, cyclohexanol, carnosine, inositol, belongs to one of the B vitamins. In nature, it exists in free or combined form in all biological tissues, and is a commonly present component in animal and plant cells, which can be synthesized by microorganisms in the digestive tract, and participates in the metabolism of sugars and lipids in the body. In animals, it mainly exists in the form of phosphatidylinositol, and is most abundant in brain marrow, heart muscle and skeletal muscle. Phosphatidylinositol exists mainly in the form of phosphatidylinositol in plants, and can be combined with calcium, zinc, iron, etc. to form insoluble compounds, interfering with their digestion and absorption. Inositol deficiency in animal diets is associated with hair loss and developmental problems. Inositol is related to intracellular calcium metabolism, and its triphosphate derivatives can be released from lipid conjugates after the cell is stimulated to play the role of the second messenger, which can mobilize intracellular calcium ions and regulate many cellular activities, such as secretion, metabolism, phototransduction and cell division.
