Multinuclear NMR investigations on the metabolic recovery of the isolated perfused mouse liver after cold preservation.

This paper describes multinuclear NMR investigations on the isolated perfused mouse liver to optimize its recovery after cold preservation and normothermic reperfusion. The recovery of livers from fed is better than that from 24 h fasted animals. This better recovery is not due to a higher glycogen content before cold preservation.

On the use of R1 and R2* for measurement of contrast agent concentration in isolated perfused rat liver.

We present experimental MRI protocols at 4.7 T for quantitative determination of the Dotarem distribution volume in isolated perfused rat liver. The procedures involved either constant contrast agent (CA) concentration or bolus administration conditions.
