End‐ischemic reconditioning of liver allografts: Controlling the rewarming

Dieter Paul Hoyer, Andreas Paul, Sebastian Luer, Henning Reis, Patrik Efferz, Thomas Minor – 11 July 2016 – Different nonhypothermic preservation modalities have shown beneficial effects in liver transplantation models. This study compares controlled oxygenated rewarming (COR) to normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) to resuscitate liver grafts following cold storage (CS). Porcine livers were preserved for 18 hours by CS.

Hypothalamic kappa opioid receptor mediates both diet‐induced and melanin concentrating hormone–induced liver damage through inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress

Adan, Zsolt Liposits, Carlos Dieguez, Miguel López, Ruben Nogueiras – 7 July 2016 – The opioid system is widely known to modulate the brain reward system and thus affect the behavior of humans and other animals, including feeding. We hypothesized that the hypothalamic opioid system might also control energy metabolism in peripheral tissues.
