Inositols are insulin-sensitizing compounds of promising efficacy in the management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). On the one hand, myo-inositol (myo-ins) plays a regulatory role in male and female reproductive function, influencing the development of oocytes, spermatozoa, and embryos. On the other hand, high concentrations of D-chiro-inositol (D-chiro-ins) in the ovary may adversely affect oocyte quality. This review analyses the available literature, which encourages the clinical use of myo-ins in assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) due to its beneficial effects on female and male reproduction.
肌醇是一类具有胰岛素增敏作用的化合物,在多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)的管理中显示出有前景的疗效。一方面,肌醇(myo-ins)在男性和女性生殖功能中发挥调节作用,影响卵母细胞、精子和胚胎的发育。另一方面,卵巢中高浓度的D-手性肌醇(D-chiro-ins)可能对卵母细胞质量产生不利影响。本综述分析了现有文献,因其对女性和男性生殖的有益作用,鼓励在辅助生殖技术(ARTs)中临床使用肌醇。
