Metabolic activity of EngNT with and without preservation in Hibernate-A. After 3 days in Hibernate-A, preserved samples were put back into culture conditions for 1 day (4 days total time) or 3 days (6 days total) and compared with equivalent samples maintained in culture for 4 and 6 days. Two-way ANOVA revealed a main effect between conditions (p < 0.05), time (p < 0.001), and their interaction (p < 0.05). Two-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-tests showed that control samples (analyzed immediately after construction) had significantly higher metabolic activity than all other samples (dotted line, 186,000 ± 8000; p < 0.001). The hypothermic condition at day 4 had significantly higher metabolic activity than the other samples at days 4 and 6 (**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). n = 4, data are mean ± SEM.
