D. Crenesse et al., CALCIUM INFLUX DURING HYPOXIA REOXYGENATION IN PRIMARY CULTURED RAT HEPATOCYTES - PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF UNIVERSITY-OF-WISCONSIN SOLUTION/, Cryo-letters, 18(3), 1997, pp. 143-152
Primary cultures of rat hepatocytes were used to simulate successions
of warm (as in liver surgery) or cold (as in liver transplantation) hy
poxia and reoxygenation phases (in culture medium or in University of
Wisconsin solution). During warm hypoxia/reoxygenation, calcium influx
es were higher than during cold hypoxia/reoxygenation and UW protected
hepatocytes from calcium invasion which was deleterious for these cel
ls.
