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

<table>Hepatocellular apoptosis significantly decreased within LR-supplemented nitrite therapy. TUNEL evaluation revealed a significantly reduced number of hepatocellular apoptotic nuclei treated with nitrite at 18 hours (<svg height="12.05" id="M21" style="vertical-align:-1.09097pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 56.849998 12.05" width="56.849998" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
