title: Effects of dietary myo-inositol, D-chiro-inositol and L-chiro-inositol on hepatic lipids with reference to the hepatic myo-inositol status in rats fed on 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane.
abstract: The effects of dietary 0.2% inositol stereoisomers on the hepatic lipids and myo-inositol (MI) status in rats fed with 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT) were investigated. Dietary MI reduced the hepatic lipids in the rats fed with DDT. Dietary D-chiro-inositol (DCI) and L-chiro-inositol (LCI) both had a promoting effect on the increase in hepatic lipids due to DDT feeding. Dietary MI enhanced the hepatic free MI level and the phosphatidylinositol/phosphatidylcholine ratio, but dietary DCI reduced the level and ratio.
