(A) Concentration of potassium at 28°C was significantly lower than 37°C and 32°C (p<0.05 and p<0.01 respectively), but potassium ion concentration obtained at 24°C and 21°C was similar to that of 37°C. (B) Lactate levels at 21°C and 28°C were significantly lower than that of 37°C (p<0.05). Lactate levels at 32°C and 24°C were similar to that of 37°C. (C) Calcium ion perfusate concentrations was at their lowest level at 28°C, higher at 32°C and 24°C and were significantly higher at 21°C compared to the 37°C condition (p<0.05). (D) Perfusate glucose concentration was significantly higher at 32°C compared to the 37°C condition (p<0.01). (E) Sodium ion concentration was at their lowest level at 28°C and significantly higher at 32°C compared to the normothermic 37°C (p<0.05). (F) Chlorine ion concentrations was at their lowest level at 28°C and significantly higher at 32°C compared to the normothermic 37°C (p<0.05).
