    The effects of allopurinol and SOD on lipid peroxidation and energy metabolism in the liver after ischemia in an aerobic/anaerobic persufflation

    This study was aimed at examining the vulnerability of the liver to oxygen-free radicals upon reoxygenation after prolonged ischemia. Livers from male Wistar rats were first flushed with Ringer's and Euro-Coll...

    Effects of taurine on liver preservation in UW solution with consecutive ischemic rewarming in the isolated perfused rat liver

    Taurine (2-aminoethane sulfonic acid) is a physiologic amino acid involved in cellular osmoregulation in various species including man. This study was intended to compare the respective effects of cold storage...

    Heparin and phentolamine combined, rather than heparin alone, improves hepatic microvascular procurement in a non-heart-beating donor rat-model

    Improvement of organ procurement from non-heart-beating donors (NHBDs) could increase the donor organ pool for liver transplantation. Whether anti-coagulative and anti-vasospastic substances can improve hepat...
