Aims: To review the literature data about pancreatic islet isolation and fructose-1,6-bisphosfate. Source of data: Review of specific articles on the issue published in national and internacional databases (SciELO, Lilacs, PubMed). Summary of findings: Islets transplantation is an alternative for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, during the process of isolation, cell loss, mainly on the periphery of the pancreatic islet, ensues. Reactive oxygen species seem to contribute significantly in this process, affecting the viability of these cells. Various efforts are being made in an attempt to minimize the damage caused by the release and production of reactive oxygen species. Conclusions: Considering the important actions of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate which are described in the literature, its use in pancreatic islet isolation may represent an attractive alternative. The effect of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in reducing the production and release of free radicals, as well as its role in cellular protection, could enable a greater number of viable cells, optimizing the isolation process, and also protecting the graft process, by reducing the release of proinflammatory cytokines.Downloads
