The preparation of hydrogen-rich UW solution and the measurement of the concentration of hydrogen in the UW solution and liver tissue. a The cold-water bath and electrolyzer. b A significant increase in the hydrogen concentration of the UW solution was noted. UW bag H2 (+): concentration of hydrogen in the UW solution, prepared in the UW bag for more than 24 h. Storage bag H2 (+): concentration of hydrogen in the UW solution, prepared with the liver graft in the plastic storage bag after 12 h of cold storage. (n = 6 for each group); *P < 0.05. c The hydrogen concentration of the graft tissue increased depending on the storage time, eventually plateauing (n = 3 each time)
