Inositol and Thyroid Function

Meaning

Inositol and Thyroid Function describes the crucial interrelationship between the cyclic polyol myo-inositol (MI) and the synthesis, secretion, and action of thyroid hormones. Myo-inositol acts as a vital intracellular second messenger in the signaling cascade initiated by Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) binding to its receptor on the thyrocyte cell surface. This molecular connection underscores inositol’s indispensable role in maintaining the integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and preventing functional impairment.
