(a–c) Enzyme release (AST, ALT, LDH) during the 3-hr perfusion period. In the perfusions with albumin (Groups D, E) the hepatocellular enzymes significantly (P < 0.0001) rose especially after the second hour of perfusion. (d) PNP levels in perfusions with albumin of blood were significantly higher (P < 0.0001). There was no significant difference between groups including albumen in the perfusate (P = 0.569). Also no significant P value could be seen in blood perfusates compared to the later groups (D, E) over the 180-min perfusion period. Higher hepatocellular enzymes and PNP levels using blood (Group A) coincide with progressive hemolysis. Dotted line (Group F) represents changes in PNP levels during reperfusions after 90 min of warm ischemia.
