Fatty livers are more prone to primary nonfunction after transplantation. It is known that cell injury is strongly associated with alterations in the content and composition of membrane lipids. We assumed that plasma membrane (PM) fluidity, which is the most important property of the membrane, differed between fatty and normal livers.
