✦ Synopsis

Fructose-l,6-diphosphate (FDP) exerts a significant protective action towards Candida albicans infections in rabbits.

Such protective action seems related to phagocytic activity stimulation by increased ATP production.

'New Zealand' male rabbits weighing about 2 ___ 0.2 kg were utilized.

Fructose-l ,6-diphosphate

Fructose-l,6-diphosphate sodium salt (FDP, Esafosfina Biomedica Foscama, Roma) was utilized by the cardiac route.
