Research
20 / 687 resultsresearch Synthesis of Inositol in Mice
This study found that mice can synthesize inositol, but this ability is impaired when pantothenic acid is lacking in their diet.
research Nutritional Significance of Inositol and Biotin for the Pig
This study found that adding inositol or biotin to a pig's diet without sulfathalidine had no effect on growth or feed efficiency, but both helped alleviate deficiency symptoms caused by sulfathalidine.
research Role of Inositol in Alopecia of Rats Fed Sulfasuxidine
This study found that supplementing inositol in a diet containing sulfasuxidine prevents symmetrical alopecia and promotes better growth and appearance in rats.
research Relationship of Pantothenic Acid and Inositol to Alopecia in Mice
This study found that mice developed alopecia when deficient in pantothenic acid, even when inositol was present.
research Efficacy of Combination Therapy of Inositols, Antioxidants, and Vitamins in Obese and Non-Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: An Observational Study
This study found that a 12-week supplementation with a combination of insulin sensitizing agents, antioxidants, and vitamins significantly improved menstrual cyclicity, acne, and hirsutism in women with PCOS, with additional weight loss benefits in obese subjects.
research Effect of Inositol on Rat Alopecia
This study found that inositol supplementation in rats improved growth and prevented hair loss, and combining it with folic acid and B6 resulted in even better growth rates.
research A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Inositol in Trichotillomania
This study found that in a 10-week trial, inositol did not significantly reduce trichotillomania symptoms compared to placebo, although 42.1% of inositol-treated patients felt 'much or very much improved' at the study's end.
research Protective Effect of DA-9401 in Finasteride-Induced Apoptosis in Rat Testis: Inositol Requiring Kinase 1 and c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase Pathway
The study found that finasteride increased endoplasmic reticulum stress and reduced fertility in rats, effects that were alleviated by the administration of DA-9401.
research Inositol and Spectacled Eye in Rats
Inositol helped cure hair loss around rats' eyes and improved their growth.
research Clinical Experiments with Riboflavin, Inositol, and Calcium Pantothenate
Riboflavin helps heal bed sores, inositol aids skin diseases, and calcium pantothenate doesn't prevent gray hair.
research The Impact of Lifestyle: The Effects of Diet, Exercise and Inositol Supplementation on the Course of Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS): Narrative Review
This review of studies suggests that dietary changes, physical activity, and inositol supplementation may help improve various health outcomes in women with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, though more research is needed on sleep interventions.
research Synergistic Effects of Cinnamomum Zeylanicum and Inositol on Metabolic and Hormonal Parameters in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
In this randomized controlled trial, combining cinnamon and inositol led to significant improvements in metabolic and hormonal parameters, such as reduced LH, testosterone, fasting glucose, and ovarian ultrasound scores, in overweight women with PCOS, indicating superior benefits over either supplement alone.
research Therapeutic Potential of Inositol for PCOS: An Overview of Administration, Efficacy, and Potential Applications
This review examines the administration, efficacy, and potential applications of inositol, highlighting its roles in treating conditions like mental health disorders, metabolic disorders, and PCOS. The authors emphasize the need for further research into inositol's multifaceted therapeutic benefits.
research An Optimal Combination of Inositol and Phytic Acid Effectively Promotes Hair Growth
This study explored whether inositol and phytic acid, components from rice bran, could be effective and safe alternatives to minoxidil for promoting hair growth, due to concerns about minoxidil's side effects with long-term use in women. Results are not reported.
research Comparing the Efficacy of Myo-Inositol Plus Alpha-Lactalbumin Versus Myo-Inositol Alone on Reproductive and Metabolic Disturbances of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
In this study, adding α-lactalbumin to myo-inositol treatment improved ovulation rates, menstrual cycle duration, and hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS more effectively than myo-inositol alone, suggesting potential benefits for those resistant to inositol treatment.
research Ameliorative Impact of High Inositol Diet on Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Hormones Among Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
In this study, a high inositol diet, with or without supplements, significantly improved androgen levels, insulin sensitivity, and certain metabolic indicators in women with PCOS over three months.
research Hair Strengthening Evaluation of Anisotropic Osmolyte Solutions (Inositol + Arginine): Cross-Talk Between Dermal Papilla Fibroblast and Keratinocytes of the Outer Root Sheath Using a Micro Hair Follicle 3D Model
This study found that anisotropic osmolyte solutions may improve hair follicle turnover and condition in both in vitro and in silico models, as well as in human volunteers with hair disorders.
research Inositol Versus Metformin Administration in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients
This study found that inositol was significantly more effective than Metformin in promoting weight reduction, spontaneous ovulation, and pregnancy in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Inositol Versus Metformin Administration in Polycystic Ovarian Disease Patients
This study found that myoinositol combined with D-chiroinositol was more effective than metformin in improving weight reduction, spontaneous ovulation, and pregnancy rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Inositol Hexaphosphate Alleviates Ototoxicity And Age-Related Hearing Loss By Preserving Cochlear Hair Cells In Mice
This study found that inositol hexaphosphate significantly reduced hearing threshold shifts and outer hair cell loss in various sensorineural hearing loss mouse models, suggesting potential for otoprotective use.
