Metabolic measurements taken from the cell viability experiment after two weeks storage.

<p>(A) Lactate/glucose values increased with temperature (<i>r</i> = 0.927; <i>p</i> < 0.001 between 4°C and 28°C). (B) Glucose and lactate values were significantly grouped between 8°C and 20°C (* = significantly grouped - (glucose: <i>p</i> > 0.05; lactate: <i>p</i> > 0.05)) and values were approximately double between 24°C and 37°C (§ = significantly grouped - (glucose: <i>p</i> > 0.05; lactate: <i>p</i> > 0.05)). (C) Oxygen tension values were inversely correlated with temperature (<i>r</i> = - 0.939; <i>p</i> <0.001). (D) pH fluctuated between pH 7.1 and pH 7.2 from 4°C to 20°C. Decreased pH fluctuating around pH 7.0 reflected higher lactate production between 24°C and 37°C. Values represent the average seen in n = 4 wells of a 12 well plate at each temperature.
