Biological Functions
In the body, it plays important roles. For example, it is involved in insulin signal transduction. It can enhance the action of insulin, which is beneficial for glucose metabolism. It has been associated with the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In PCOS patients, DCI may help regulate hormonal imbalances and improve ovarian function. Additionally, it may also participate in lipid metabolism regulation, contributing to maintaining normal lipid levels in the body.
Application
The applications of D - chiro - inositol (DCI) are mainly as follows:
I. In the field of healthcare
1. Treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Regulating hormone levels: Hormone imbalance exists in PCOS patients. DCI can regulate hormone levels such as androgens and insulin. It can reduce androgen levels such as testosterone and improve symptoms related to hyperandrogenism such as hirsutism and acne.
• Improving metabolism: It helps improve insulin resistance and increase insulin sensitivity, thus regulating glucose metabolism. This helps alleviate metabolic disorders such as obesity and abnormal blood glucose in PCOS patients.
• Promoting ovulation: By regulating ovarian function and improving the follicular development environment, it increases the possibility of ovulation and improves the fertility of patients.
2. Diabetes management
• Assisting in blood glucose control: Since it can enhance the action of insulin and improve insulin signal transduction, it can be used as an adjuvant treatment for diabetes (especially type 2 diabetes), helping to stabilize blood glucose levels and reduce blood glucose fluctuations.
II. In the field of nutritional supplements
• As a dietary supplement: Provide nutritional support for people who may be at risk of insulin resistance or have needs for blood glucose and hormone regulation. For example, for obese people or those with a family history of diabetes or PCOS, appropriate supplementation of DCI may help prevent the occurrence and development of related diseases.
