Influence of Hypoxic Preservation Temperature on Endothelial Cells and Kidney Integrity

Figure 1

Effects of various preservation temperatures on oxygen pressure level during induction of hypoxia by Bactal 2: partial percentage of oxygen were measured in real time in the chamber atmosphere, in the cell culture flask atmosphere, and in the UW preservation medium during the hypoxia period, at 4°C (a), 19°C (b), 27°C (c), 32°C (d), and 37°C (e). Measured values of oxygen (atmospheric%) are expressed as the mean value of n = 3 determinations per group.
