Maximal flow was reduced and showed a trend of being more obstructed with 200 μM NAD + flush ( p = 0.124, Figure 3 C) than in the control group, whereas 100 μM NAD + flush was comparable ( p = 0.390, Figure 3 C).

Moreover, there was a slight trend of less pro-inflammatory IL-12 ( p = 0.251) and anti-inflammatory IL-4 ( p = 0.317).
However, it is questionable whether these effects were already present during the few hours of exposure of the lungs to NAD + during our 4 h EVLP experiments, as we detected only a strong trend of higher INFy and a weak trend of higher IL-4 in the perfusate.
