Perfluorohexyloctane improves long-term storage of rat pancreata for subsequent islet isolation.
Pancreas oxygenation by means of the hyperoxygen carrier perfluorodecalin (PFD) has been established to prevent ischemically induced damage from cold-stored pancreata. However, large-scale studies did not confirm the promising results that had been observed in smaller donor populations. This study a...
