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

Figure 1

Nitrite-supplemented UW solution decreased hepatic graft enzyme release. UW solution supplemented with anion nitrite decreased hepatic graft enzyme release during 24 hours of cold ischemia. Solutions of 250 (AST—68±12; LDH—420±102) and 25 (AST—38±4; LDH—280±17) μM anion nitrite resulted in the greatest reduction. Data are expressed as mean ± SE. ^#𝑃<0.05 for corresponding measurements.
