Perfusate viscosity played an influential role in fine-tuning the balance between adequate flow rates and low portal pressures. As perfusate viscosities increased, (A) lower flow rates produced (B) higher portal pressures. (C) Hepatic resistance, which accounted for differences in perfusate viscosity, was not significantly elevated across groups with the exception of WE livers. Data are expressed as mean ± s.d.
