Abstract excerpt
myo-Inositol (Ins) and its polyphosphoinositide derivatives that are important in membrane signaling have long been held to play a special role in brain metabolism. As polyphosphoinositides turn over rapidly and are exceptionally abundant in nervous tissue, high Ins levels in the range of 2-15 mm that have been observed in brain may be necessary to maintain the rates of phosphoinositide synthesis in diverse...
