Experimental design. (A) Flush group designation (n = 4) and (B) experimental design. Each group of adult, Sprague Dawley rats underwent total hepatectomy with an in-situ flush (except group 4 which had no flush), following by 24 h of SCS (except group 1 which went straight to NMP). Liver biopsies for histology were taken prior to perfusion and after 6 h of perfusion, and perfusion metrics were recorded at 1, 3, and 6 h timepoints.
