Endothelin in Organ Transplantation
TL;DR: Observations provide the rational to use ET receptor antagonists to formally address the potential role of ET in the initiation and propagation of posttransplantation complications; including systemic hypertension, acute allograft dysfunction, and perhaps most importantly, chronic allografted dysfunction.

TL;DR: It is concluded that cold ischaemia and preservation damage induces an increase in renal ET mRNA and irET expression in the reperfusion phase, contributing both to the deterioration of renal function and to tubular necrosis.
Assessment of oxidative stress in the early posttransplant period: comparison of cyclosporine A and tacrolimus-based regimens.

TL;DR: The study data suggest that the improvement in oxidative state parameters begins at the first day of renal transplantation and continues at the 28th posttransplant day in living donor transplantations.

Elevated neointimal endothelin-1 in transplantation-associated arteriosclerosis of renal allograft recipients
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that elevated ET-1 in the neointima is associated with Tx-AA and chronic rejection, and this results point to an important role for endothelial dysfunction in chronic renal allograft rejection.

Inhibition of endothelin-converting enzyme attenuates transplant vasculopathy and rejection in rat cardiac allografts.
TL;DR: It is concluded that, even in the absence of concomitant immunosuppression, inhibition of ET-1 biosynthesis significantly attenuates transplant vasculopathy and improves survival of LEW to F344 cardiac allografts.
