The cardioprotective effects of fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) were investigated in infarcted rats and in conscious rabbits with myocardial ischemia. The influence of FDP on metabolic acidosis was studied in isolated hypoxic rat hearts. It was shown that FDP did not change the threshold of the initiation of ischemia in conscious rabbits, but decreased necrotic zone in infarcted rat hearts. After administration of FDP the myocardial contractility was prolonged significantly as compared with control under conditions of severe metabolic acidosis. However, FDP was not effective in hypoxic hearts with compensated metabolic acidosis. It was considered, that FDP influenced only ischemic myocytes with the changes in sarcolemmal permeability.
