Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the complex role of endothelins (ETs) in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury and to minimize this type of injury by nonselective ET receptor blockade. In an in vivo rat model, hepatic ischemia was induced for 30 min. The rats were divided into three groups: (1) sham operated, (2) untreated ischemic, and (3) group treated with the nonselective ET receptor antagonist bosentan (1 mg/kg body weight iv). Blockage of the ET system during ischemia-reperfusion was assessed by: (1) in vivo microscopic analysis, (2) measurement of local tissue pO2
