Hypothermic oscillating oxygenated perfusion led to the elevated energy charge during preservation and led to reduced oxygen radical formation as well as less lipid peroxidation during reperfusion, in contrast to cold stored livers and nonpreserved livers. This suggests a correlation between the energy charge before reperfusion and oxygen radical formation as well as liver injury at reperfusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
