Myo-inositol uptake by erythrocytes from humans, rabbits and rats was studied with an isotope technique. In human erythrocytes, the inhibitory effect on myo-inositol uptake was stronger with glucose than with ouabain. However, an aldose reductase inhibitor (ONO-2235, 100 microM) or insulin (200 microU/ml) failed to correct the decrease in myo-inositol uptake in packed RBC, produced by either 10 mM glucose or 2mM ouabain. Ten mM ouabain had an inhibitory effect on myo-inositol uptake in all species, but an inhibitory effect was not observed with 20 mM glucose in rabbit erythrocytes. The results suggest that myo-inositol uptake by erythrocytes may be dependent on the active transport system via sodium-ATPase and that erythrocytes may not be a suitable model to monitor the possible effect of an aldose reductase inhibitor on myo-inositol concentrations in other tissues concerned with diabetic complications.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007294 Inositol An isomer of glucose that has traditionally been considered to be a B vitamin although it has an uncertain status as a vitamin and a deficiency syndrome has not been identified in man. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1379) Inositol phospholipids are important in signal transduction. Myoinositol,Chiro-Inositol,Mesoinositol,Chiro Inositol
D010042 Ouabain A cardioactive glycoside consisting of rhamnose and ouabagenin, obtained from the seeds of Strophanthus gratus and other plants of the Apocynaceae; used like DIGITALIS.
