Table 1: Flow rates before and after temperature change (Arterial = hepatic artery HA flow; Portal = portal vein PV flow; Venous = hepatic vein HV flow): The differences between HA flow and HV flow at 15 °C and 30 °C were significant, *p < 0.03 and **p < 0.014 respectively. PV flow rates at 15 °C and 30 °C did not differ significantly, p < 0.09.
