In a short review solutions of glucose, fructose and invertose have been compared in regard to proteinsparing effects, side effects and infusion rates. It is concluded that fructose alone offers no advantage to glucose neither in the normal nor in the stressed organism. Compared with pure glucose and fructose solutions, higher amounts of carbohydrate can be administered as invertose, without increasing the risk of side effects.
