Abstract
The transplantation of human organs is an important field in current medicine and medical research. One of the limiting steps in organ transplantation is the preservation of the graft. Frequently the hypoxic storage of the removed organ limits the possibility of sucessful transplantation. The hypoxic cell damage due to insufficient organ preservation is a major cause for the loss or the dysfunction of transplanted organs like hearts and kidneys (6,9,13,17,20,24).
