Exhaled NO concentrations from untreated allografts (n = 5), cyclosporine (CsA)-treated allografts (n = 4), and control isografts (n = 4). *Significant difference from untreated allografts on postoperative days (POD) 2 through 4 (p = ) and on day 5 for isografts (p = ) and cyclosporine-treated allografts (p = ).
