In an attempt to prolong successful storage of the pig liver beyond the 6–8 hours previously described from this laboratory, the addition of cell‐membranestabilizing drugs to the preserving solution and the use of a potassium‐rich solution were investigated. Using simple hypothermia alone, 10‐ and 12‐hour storage was unsuccessful. Using the previously described hypothermic technique, but with the addition of hyperbaric oxygen at 3 atmospheres absolute (A.T.A.), consistently successful 12‐hour preservation was achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
