Renal temperature reduction progressively favors mitochondrial ROS production over respiration in hypothermic kidney preservation

Abstract Background Hypothermia, leading to mitochondrial inhibition, is widely used to reduce ischemic injury during kidney preservation. However, the exact effect of hypothermic kidney preservation on mitochondrial function remains unclear. Methods We evaluated mitochondrial function [i.e. oxygen...
