Plasma and urinary inositol isomer profiles measured by UHPLC-MS/MS reveal differences in scyllo-inositol levels between non-pregnant and pregnant women. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Myo- and D-chiro-inositol isomers are beneficial for treating polycystic ovary syndrome and potentially lowering gestational diabetes risk in pregnant women, while scyllo-inositol may help with neurological disorders like Alzheimer's.
  • A new ultra-high-performance-liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method has been developed to accurately quantify multiple inositol isomers in plasma and urine, overcoming previous analytical challenges.
  • A pilot study found significantly higher urinary myo- and scyllo-inositol levels in third-trimester pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women, indicating the need for further research into the implications of these differences.

Article Abstract

Previous studies support that myo- and D-chiro-inositol isomers are promising bioactives for the treatment of women with polycystic ovary syndrome and for lowering the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnant women, whereas scyllo-inositol may have some benefits for neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease). Though potentially useful to better understand inositol isomer metabolism and study their role in health and disease, routine analysis of inositol isomers in plasma and urine with a single analytical method is not yet feasible due to the lack of a suitable analytical assay. To address this, we developed and validated a robust ultra-high-performance-liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for the quantification of inositol isomers in plasma and urine. This method resolves seven inositol isomers with accurate quantification of total chiro- (D and L enantiomers), myo-, and scyllo-inositols and is semi-quantitative for neo-inositol. For urine and plasma myo-inositol, the method repeatability and intermediate reproducibility were below 6% and 8%, respectively. Then, for both chiro- and scyllo-inositols, repeatability and intermediate reproducibility were below 10% and 14%, respectively. A pilot study was carried out to quantify and compare the pattern of inositol isomers in urine and plasma of non-pregnant and pregnant women and showed for the first time that urinary myo- and scyllo-inositol concentrations were significantly higher for women in the third trimester of pregnancy compared with non-pregnant women. These findings warrant further research to understand the biological significance of the observed differences in inositol profiles and suggest a potential role of scyllo-inositol.Graphical abstract Plasma and urinary inositol isomer profiles measured by UHPLC-MS/MS reveal differences in scyllo-inositol levels between non-pregnant and pregnant women.
