Summary

The study demonstrated that glutathione and adenosine were essential for the successful preservation, whereas hydroxyethyl starch (HES) and allopurinol could be omitted from University of Wisconsin (UW) solution without remarkable reduction of preservability. Raffinose and lactobonate might be required simply for maintaining the osmotic pressure of the solutions, because they were replaceable with sodium chloride. It was also found that HES could be replaced by Dextran 40 without significant cell deterioration. This technique seems to permit rapid assessment and refinement of new solutions for liver preservation prior to testing in a large animal transplant model.
