Neonatal rats of the Holtzman strain, 6 days of age, were fed a myo-inositol restricted liquid formula by gastric intubation for 10 days, after which they were fed a purified myo-inositol-free diet until they were 72 days old. No differences in weight gain were observed between myo-inositol/100 ml of formula or 150 mg myo-inositol/100 g diet. Most tissues examined from rats fed the myo-inositol deprived formula and diet had lower free myo-inositol levels than the controls with the exception of the liver. Despite reduced free and lipid-bound myo-inositol in the liver, there was no evidence of fatty liver in the young rats at any age. The cerebrum and cerebellum of myo-inositol deprived rats had normal myelination and mitochondriogenesis as judged by the levels of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide-3'-phosphohydrolase (EC 3.1.4.1) and fumarase (EC 4.2.1.2) activity, respectively.

Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
