title: Beneficial effects of fructose-1,6-diphosphate infusion on liver regeneration after ischemic liver injury.
abstract: The effect of fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) on cellular viability after partial hepatectomy in partial ischemic liver was investigated in rats. The administration of FDP did not increase blood flow in the hepatic tissue; however, it significantly suppressed the elevation of serum liver functions for 24 hours after partial hepatectomy. Levels of DNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and labeling index were significantly higher in the groups administered divided doses of FDP before and after partial hepatic ischemia than in the control group (P less than 0.01). Thus, these findings indicate that FDP has cytoprotective and hepatotrophic effects on liver with ischemic injury and that divided dose administration of FDP is more effective than bolus doses in decreasing damage following ischemic and reperfusion injury.
