Beta-galactosidase as a marker of ischemic injury and a mechanism for viability assessment in porcine liver transplantation.
Glycohydrolases are a group of enzymes contained predominantly within lysosomes, which are released during Kupffer cell activation or death. One of these, beta-galactosidase, has been proposed as a marker of ischemia-reperfusion injury in the liver because Kupffer cell activation represents a primar...
