CDD: choline-deficient diet; CMDD: choline-methionine-deficient diet; HFD: high-fat diet; HTK: histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution; MaS: macrovesicular steatosis; Mixed: presence of both macrovesicular and microvesicular steatosis; ns: not stated; Saline: normal saline solution; UW: University of Wisconsin solution.
P < 0.05 versus lean livers; no lean group in study; decreased survival in >60% macrovesicular steatosis compared to <60% macrovesicular, >60% microvesicular steatosis or >60% mixed steatosis; decreased survival in recipients of 30 and 70% steatotic liver volume compared to recipients of volume matched lean livers.
