The Hepatoprotective Effect of Sodium Nitrite on Cold Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Figure 9

Nitrite administration to either the donor liver graft or recipient decreased hepatic enzyme release posttransplantation. Serum enzymes in only the nitrite-treated graft and recipient only groups decreased in syngeneic recipients 3 hours posttransplantation (ALT—580±118 versus 210±90 versus 229±41 versus 493±92; LDH-2228±1019 versus 652±380 versus 810±182 versus 1375±202). Data are expressed as mean ± SE. ^#𝑃<0.05 for corresponding measurements.
