Release of Danger Signals during Ischemic Storage of the Liver: A Potential Marker of Organ Damage?
Figure 6
Correlation of Effluent HMGB1 and MIF with liver enzymes (AST) and ischemic time. Effluent AST positively correlated with cold or warm ischemic time ((a) and (b)), respectively, (). For HMGB1, the values represent the density of band using Image J program ((c) and (d)), or the values represent the concentration quantified by recombinant standard (e). For MIF, the values represent the density of band using Image J program. Effluent HMGB1 and MIF levels correlated moderately with ischemic time ((c) and (d); ) and effluent AST ((e) and (f); ).
