Background: D-chiro-inositol (DCI) and glucose transporter inhibitors may inhibit myo-inositol (MI) transporters, and the aim is to clinically evaluate their effect on MI absorption. Research design and methods: Fasting 18 healthy volunteers received orally 6000 mg MI, 6000 mg MI with 1000 mg DCI, and 6000 mg MI with SelectSIEVE® Apple PCQ and Sorbitol, Maltodextrin and Sucralose (PCQ-SMS), in three different phases with a washout period of 7 days. At each phase, blood samples were collected before administration, and every 60 minutes until 540 minutes after administration. MI plasma levels (μmol/L) were quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), time to reach it (Tmax), and the area under the time-concentration curve of MI (AUC 0-540) were evaluated. Results: The Cmax of MI alone (Tmax = 180min) was 1.29-fold higher than those of MI with DCI (Tmax = 180min) (p < 0.001) and 1.69-fold higher than those of MI with PCQ-SMS (Tmax = 240min) (p < 0.001). The AUC 0-540 was reduced by 19.09% in MI plus DCI (p = 0.0118) and by 31.8% in MI plus PCQ-SMS (p < 0.001) as compared to MI alone. Conclusions: DCI, glucose transporter inhibitors and sugars, such as sorbitol and maltodextrin, seem to inhibit MI absorption, decreasing MI plasma concentration as compared to MI alone.

Abstract
Background: D-chiro-inositol (DCI) and glucose transporter inhibitors may inhibit myo-inositol (MI) transporters, and the aim is to clinically evaluate their effect on MI absorption. Research design and methods: Fasting 18 healthy volunteers received orally 6000 mg MI, 6000 mg MI with 1000 mg DCI, and 6000 mg MI with SelectSIEVE® Apple PCQ and Sorbitol, Maltodextrin and Sucralose (PCQ-SMS), in three different phases with a washout period of 7 days. At each phase, blood samples were collected before administration, and every 60 minutes until 540 minutes after administration. MI plasma levels (μmol/L) were quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), time to reach it (Tmax), and the area under the time-concentration curve of MI (AUC 0-540) were evaluated. Results: The Cmax of MI alone (Tmax = 180min) was 1.29-fold higher than those of MI with DCI (Tmax = 180min) (p < 0.001) and 1.69-fold higher than those of MI with PCQ-SMS (Tmax = 240min) (p < 0.001). The AUC 0-540 was reduced by 19.09% in MI plus DCI (p = 0.0118) and by 31.8% in MI plus PCQ-SMS (p < 0.001) as compared to MI alone. Conclusions: DCI, glucose transporter inhibitors and sugars, such as sorbitol and maltodextrin, seem to inhibit MI absorption, decreasing MI plasma concentration as compared to MI alone.Pubblicazioni consigliate
