Function and Integrity of warm ischemic livers during normothermic perfusion. (A) Asparate aminotransferase (AST) and (B) Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) levels in perfusate samples collected hourly from the primary circuit; (C) Total bile accumulation normalized to wet liver weight; (D) Oxygen uptake rate normalized to wet liver weight. Data shown are averages of 6 ischemic livers ± Standard Error. Values for the warm ischemic livers are significantly lower than the controls for bile and oxygen uptake, and significantly higher for urea (p<0.01 by Analysis of Variance). Data for the control group (normothermic perfusion of non-ischemic livers) are from Tolboom et al. (19). * indicates statistical difference compared to healthy perfused livers at p<0.1.
