Summary

Optimal post-thaw functional recovery was obtained with tissues that had been frozen within 10 min of being placed in the cryomedium. The results suggest that exposure to the cryomedium without freezing is well tolerated by the arterial smooth muscle, whereas a progressive reduction of the contractile activity occurs with prolonged exposure of the preparations to room temperature cryomedium before starting the cooling process.
