Abstract
The behaviour of eight duct-ligated canine pancreata was studied during 23 hours of continuous, hypothermic perfusion, with an albumin electrolyte solution. The organs developed a considerable oedema during perfusion. This did not seem to influence on the vascular resistance of the organs. A continuous insulin release, a moderate increase in LDH concentration and only small changes in the electrolyte concentrations were observed in the perfusate, indicating only a moderate degree of cellular damage.
