Serum AST and ALT concentrations. 1 Pre-trauma, 2 after trauma, 3 after reperfusion, 4 after 14.5 h, 5 after 24.5 h, 6 after 48.5. Sampled data are given as median and IQR. Group differences were tested by the non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test, individual groups were subjected to subsequent post hoc analysis with the Mann–Whitney U test and Fishers’ exact test. p < 0.025 was considered statistically significant. AST norm ≤35 I/U, ALT norm ≤68 U/L
