(not-comparable) Having a normal body temperature.
In contrast to cold preservation, the concept of normothermic preservation is to maintain the cellular metabolism.
2011, Korkut Uygun, Charles Y. Lee, Methods in Bioengineering: Organ Preservation and Reengineering, →ISBN, page 3:Perhaps a compromise between near normothermic temperatures and the typical 4°C perfusion would be best for clinical use. Here the warmer temperatures at midthermia (15–20°C) may promote metabolic repair but remain cool enough to suppress metabolism and slow reactions and flow rates so that machine automation can be practical for clinical use.
