Research Reports on Nerve Growth Factors from University of the Balearic Islands Provide New Insights (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor as a Potential Mediator of the Beneficial Effects of Myo-Inositol Supplementation during Suckling in the...).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of the Balearic Islands explores the potential mechanisms underlying the protective effects of myo-inositol (MI) supplementation during suckling against the detrimental effects of fetal energy restriction. The study focuses on the potential connections between MI supplementation and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling. The researchers found that MI supplementation, particularly in the context of gestational calorie restriction, promoted BDNF secretion and signaling in both juvenile and adult offspring. These findings suggest a novel connection between MI supplementation during suckling, BDNF signaling, and metabolic programming, providing insights into the beneficial effects of MI during lactation.
