inositol and Multiple Sclerosis

inositol has been researched along with Multiple Sclerosis in 39 studies

Inositol: An isomer of glucose that has traditionally been considered to be a B vitamin although it has an uncertain status as a vitamin and a deficiency syndrome has not been identified in man. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1379) Inositol phospholipids are important in signal transduction.
inositol : Any cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol.
1D-chiro-inositol : Belonging to the inositol family of compounds, D-chiro-inositol (DCI) is an isomer of glucose. It is an important secondary messenger in insulin signal transduction.
muco-inositol : An inositol that is cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol having a (1R,2R,3r,4R,5S,6r)-configuration.

Multiple Sclerosis: An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p903)

" Lower myo-inositol/creatine values, suggesting astrocytic damage, were consistently found within the NMO lesions when compared with healthy controls and patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), who showed at least 1 demyelinating lesion at the same cord level."7.79Low myo-inositol indicating astrocytic damage in a case series of neuromyelitis optica. ( Chard, D; Ciccarelli, O; De Vita, E; Kachramanoglou, C; Kapoor, R; Leary, S; Matthews, L; Miller, DH; Palace, J; Thomas, DL; Thompson, AJ; Toosy, AT; Wheeler-Kingshott, CA, 2013)

" This biochemical information can be processed and presented as density maps of several metabolites, among them N-acetylaspartate (marker of neuronal viability), choline (marker of membrane turnover), creatine (related to the energy state of the cells), myo-Inositol (exclusively found in astrocytes), lipids and lactate (observed in necrosis and other pathological processes) which mean relevant information in the context of brain tumors."4.85Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging in the study of human brain cancer. ( Celda, B; Martínez-Bisbal, MC, 2009)
" Lower myo-inositol/creatine values, suggesting astrocytic damage, were consistently found within the NMO lesions when compared with healthy controls and patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), who showed at least 1 demyelinating lesion at the same cord level."3.79Low myo-inositol indicating astrocytic damage in a case series of neuromyelitis optica.

"In the multiple sclerosis white matter lesions, N-acetylaspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), inositol (Ins), and creatine (Cr) peaks did not vary significantly over the entire period of the study in the untreated group."3.701H-MRS in patients with multiple sclerosis undergoing treatment with interferon beta-1a: results of a preliminary study. ( Alberti, A; Gallai, V; Gobbi, G; Orlacchio, A; Pelliccioli, GP; Presciutti, O; Sarchielli, P; Tarducci, R, 1998)
"Myo-inositol was given orally to nine multiple sclerosis patients and nine healthy control subjects."3.67The role of myo-inositol in multiple sclerosis. ( Hader, WJ; Hiscock, M; Logan, D; Warren, KG; Young, GB, 1986)
"Most of the brain tumors were characterized by strongly reduced total N-acetylaspartyl compounds and marked increases of myo-inositol and choline-containing compounds, consistent with a lack of neuroaxonal tissue and a proliferation of glial cells."1.31Quantitative proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of focal brain lesions. ( Dechent, P; Frahm, J; Hanefeld, F; Herms, J; Markakis, E; Maxton, C; Wilken, B, 2000)
"The mechanisms behind the demyelination that is characteristic of multiple sclerosis (MS) are still poorly understood."1.30Inflammatory CNS demyelination: histopathologic correlation with in vivo quantitative proton MR spectroscopy.
