- Perhaps a compromise between near normothermic temperatures and the typical 4°C perfusion would be best for clinical use. Here the warmer temperatures at midthermia (15–20°C) may promote metabolic repair but remain cool enough to suppress metabolism and slow reactions and flow rates so that machine automation can be practical for clinical use.2009 July 1, Charles Y Lee, Martin J Mangino, “Preservation methods for kidney and liver”, in Organogenesis, volume 5, number 3, →DOI, pages 105-112:
- In contrast to cold preservation, the concept of normothermic preservation is to maintain the cellular metabolism.2011, Korkut Uygun, Charles Y. Lee, Methods in Bioengineering: Organ Preservation and Reengineering, →ISBN, page 3:
