Due to a typesetting error, the footnotes for Table 5 do not appear beneath the table. Instead, the footnotes are erroneously included as paragraph two in the Organ Dehydration subsection of the Freezing Responses section of the Discussion.

Table 5. Concentrations of two cryoprotectants within liver and skeletal muscle of R. sylvatica subjected to different experimental freezing regimes.

Liver Gracilis
Unfrozen –8°C –16°C Cyclic Unfrozen –8°C –16°C Cyclic
Glucose 4 1393 1760 941 1 83 64 146
Urea 75 307 388 305 50 94 86 75
Glucose + urea 79 1700 2148 1245 51 177 150 221

Values, expressed as μmol ml-1 tissue fluid, were computed from mean water and solute concentrations and thus incorporate the effect of organ dehydration during freezing. Actual cryoprotectant levels in frozen tissues would be considerably higher due to freeze-concentration of the solution remaining within them.

Please view the complete, correct Table 5 below.
