Figure 3.

Pig pancreas under autopsy conditions show marked reduction of Ki67 in their β-cells. Porcine β-cells subjected to 3 h of warm ischemia at RT, followed by 21 h of cold ischemia at 4°C, showed a significant loss of Ki67 staining compared with 3 h of warm ischemia only. There was also a significant difference between the percentage of Ki67-positive β-cells in the tail and the body/head part of the pancreas after 3 h of warm ischemia. This difference is not due to overrepresentation of ventral lobe tissue in the body/head portion (n = 4). *P < 0.001, **P < 0.005.
