Cooling and rewarming rates applied in the current study and in a previous study [1]

Heat Transfer Rates Slow Cooling Slow Re-warming (N=8) Slow Cooling Fast Re-warming (N=7)[1]
H1 (−40°C to −100°C) 2.58±0.11 2.54±0.15
H2 (−100°C to −130°C) 1.44±0.09 1.34±0.13
H3 (−130°C to −100°C) 5.31±0.14* 4.71±0.18
H4 (−100°C to −40°C) 61.9±4.01# 186±13.3

Data are expressed in °C/min and presented as mean ± sem.
