Integrity and metabolic function of warm ischemic livers during NELP. The DCD group was subjected to 1 hr warm ischemia. The DCD+SCS group was subjected to 45 min of warm ischemia and 2 hrs of SCS. The control group consisted of freshly isolated livers with no warm ischemia. Data from the DCD and control groups are from Tolboom et al. (submitted), and ref. (8), respectively. (A) AST and (B) ALT levels in perfusate samples collected hourly from the primary circuit. (C) Total bile secreted. (D) Oxygen uptake rate. All values are normalized to the wet weight of the liver. Data shown are averages of 6 warm ischemic livers ± SEM. ALT & AST values for the warm ischemic livers are significantly higher than the controls (p <0.01), but no difference was observed between DCD and DCD+SCS groups. OURs were not statistically different among the groups (p >0.1). Bile production was significantly reduced (p <0.01) in both groups of warm ischemic livers compared to control freshly isolated livers.
