Rat livers were flushed and stored ex vivo in Krebs-Henseleit buffer at 37 degrees C for 3 hr or in University of Wisconsin solution at 2 degrees C for 48 hr. After this they were perfused with recirculated Krebs-Henseleit solution at 37 degrees C for 1 hr. Levels of phospholipids (PL), free fatty acids (FFA), and conjugated dienes were determined at various times during ischemia and after 1 hr of reperfusion. After 3 hr warm ischemia, total PL content decreased by about 30% primarily because of decreases in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. One hour of reperfusion normalized PL levels. Total PL content was unchanged up to 48 hr of cold ischemia because of offsetting alterations in levels of PL classes. FFA accumulation during warm ischemia was about half that during cold ischemia. Conjugated diene concentration increased fivefold during warm ischemia but was unchanged during cold ischemia. Low PL levels and FFA accumulation along with production of conjugated dienes suggest that lipid oxidation is a major mechanism of PL degradation during warm, but not cold, ischemia of the liver.

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D015424 Reperfusion Restoration of blood supply to tissue which is ischemic due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or surgical clamping. It is primarily a procedure for treating infarction or other ischemia, by enabling viable ischemic tissue to recover, thus limiting further necrosis. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage the ischemic tissue, causing REPERFUSION INJURY. Reperfusions
