Description

D-Pinitol is a polyol that is used as a sweetener. It can be found in many fruits and vegetables. D-Pinitol has been shown to have hypoglycemic effects in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the enzyme activity of maltase and glucose-6-phosphatase. In vitro studies have shown that D-Pinitol is able to activate metabolic response pathways, such as the insulin signaling pathway, while suppressing the glycolytic pathway. In addition, D-Pinitol has been shown to suppress postprandial blood glucose levels by increasing fat oxidation and decreasing carbohydrate oxidation rates. This compound can also be used as a hydrogen fluoride scavenger and as a co2 flow agent in analytical methods.
