Lactate production. The graphs show the levels of lactate measured at each flow index analyzed during perfusion at 15 °C (panel a) and 22 °C (panel b). Panel c shows the value of the area under the curve (AUC) of lactate over the different range of flow indexes used and reported as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.02 for 15 °C vs 22 °C. The red dashed lines in panel a and panel b show the different trend of distribution of the plotted points in the two condition
