Effects of Institut Georges Lopez-1 and Celsior preservation solutions on liver graft injury

Figure 5 Phosphorylated AMP activated protein kinase (A) and AKT levels (B) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase protein (C) levels and nitrate and nitrite contents (D) in liver tissues after 2 h of warm reperfusion. The upper panels show one representative blot of three independent experiments and the lower panels show densitometric evaluation of the protein blot. Control (n = 6): livers were flushed and perfused ex vivo without cold storage. IGL-1 (n = 6): livers were preserved in IGL-1 solution at 4 °C for 24 h. Celsior (n = 6): livers were preserved in Celsior solution at 4 °C for 24 h. ^aP < 0.05 vs Control, ^cP < 0.05 vs IGL-1. IGL-1: Institut Georges Lopez-1.
