Figure 7. Metabolic differences in the perfusate serum during ex vivo pig brain NMP with and without the support of a functioning liver.

Figure 7

(A) Heatmap displaying significantly differential metabolites (adjusted P value (Padj) < 0.05 and |log2(fold change)| > 1), represented by z-score across each row. The heatmap was generated with the pheatmap R package. (B) Radar chart illustrating the differences by metabolic groups. (C) Violin plot showing the signal for decreased metabolites in ex vivo brain normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) without the support of a functioning liver (decreased in the BOR group). (D) Violin plot showing the signal for increased metabolites in ex vivo brain NMP without the support of a functioning liver (increased in the BOR group). (C, D) The vertical lines (whiskers) connecting the box represented the maximum and minimum values. The box signified the upper (75th percentiles) and lower quartiles (25th percentiles). The central band inside the box represents the median (50th percentiles). Outliers were shown. Two-tailed ratio unpaired t-test. (AD) n = 5 pigs, triplicate perfusate samples for technical replicates in each pig. Source data are available online for this figure.
