5 molar is sufficient to come very close to vitrifying the kidney when it is cooled down below the glass-transition temperature. I am also concerned about many effects of dextrose, not only those brought up by Dr. Fonteles which occur at higher temperatures. I am worried about the Maillard reaction; about the permeation of glucose and subsequent swelling of cells; about the possibility at high tempertures that all that glucose will cause an accumulation of lactic acid and lowering of pH; but I do not think that these are terribly serious problems at 2°C.

Our ability to control vascular pores is much greater now than when we set aside our thoughts of impermeant CPAs for organs. Maybe this is the time to look at them again. ~ 1. E.
