Description
Myo-Inositol, also known as i-Inositol, is a sugar alcohol and functions as a growth factor for both animals and microorganisms. Classified as a pseudovitamin, it doesn′t meet the essential vitamin criteria, as its deficiency doesn′t lead to disease conditions despite its vital role in the body. This polyol is abundantly present and serves as a structural element in eukaryotic cell secondary messengers, playing crucial roles in biological processes like insulin signal transduction and cytoskeleton transduction.
Application
in the liquid basal medium as a control for the inositol starvation of cultures
as a supplement in synthetic oviduct fluid medium for embryo culture
as a component of Fuji vitamin solution to prepare nutritive medium for the growth of sugarcane plantlets
