Protection of rat cardiac myocytes by fructose-1,6-bisphosphate and 2,3-butanedione.

Earlier studies by our group showed that fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) enhances the hypothermic preservation of rat cardiac myocytes and the functional recovery of animal hearts after hypothermic storage. However, the mechanisms involved were not clear. We extended the cardiomyocyte studies by tes...
