Fructose-1,6-diphosphate reduces acute ECG changes due to doxorubicin in isolated rat heart

Experientia. 1988 Dec 1;44(11-12):1000-2. doi: 10.1007/BF01939901.

Abstract

Doxorubicin (DXR) (0.17 x 10(-4) M) induces an acute cardiotoxicity in isolated rat heart; there is a progressive widening of the S alpha T segment, with a decrease in force derivatives and in the coronary flow. Concurrent perfusion with fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) (10(-5)-10(-4) M) dose-dependently reduces the S alpha T enlargement but fails to affect the reduction in force derivatives and coronary flow. The target of cardiac protection by FDP might be the ionic mechanisms underlying the action potential configuration.
