Discrepancies Between Nitroglycerin and NO-Releasing Drugs on Mitochondrial Oxygen Consumption, Vasoactivity, and the Release of NO [PDF]
It has been generally acknowledged that the actions of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) are a result of its bioconversion into NO. However, recent observations have thrown this idea into doubt, with many studies demonstrating that NO is present only when there ...

Head-up tilt testing potentiated with oral nitroglycerin: a randomized trial of the contribution of a drug-free phase and a nitroglycerin phase in the diagnosis of neurally mediated syncope. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Since the pharmacological challenge with nitroglycerin (NTG) follows the initial drug-free phase in current tilt testing protocols, the effects of nitroglycerin alone and the appropriate duration of the basal phase are unknown.

Nitroglycerin as a Hypotensive Drug during General Anesthesia [PDF]
Circulatory variables and arterial partial pressure for oxygen (PaO2) were compared in 91 anesthetized patients who received infusions of either nitroglycerin (TNG) or nitroprusside (SNP) to induce hypotension for the purpose of decreasing intraoperative blood loss.

The auditory function in migraine model rats induced by postauricular nitroglycerin injection
ObjectiveThe mechanism by which migraines produce inner ear-related symptoms is not well understood. Previous studies have found that the latency of auditory brainstem response (ABR) in animal models of migraine has changed, but the threshold has not ...

Hydralazine prevents nitroglycerin tolerance by inhibiting activation of a membrane-bound NADH oxidase. A new action for an old drug. [PDF]
Hydralazine has been shown to reduce mortality in patients with congestive heart failure when given concomitantly with isosorbide dinitrate. Recently, we demonstrated that nitrate tolerance is in part due to enhanced vascular superoxide .O2- production ...

The Mechanisms of Nitroglycerin Action: Stenosis Vasodilatation as a Major Component of the Drug Response [PDF]
The effect of sublingual or intracoronary nitroglycerin (NTG) on luminal caliber in normal and diseased portions of epicardial coronary arteries was determined in 85 lesions from 57 typical patients with ischemic heart disease. Measurements were made from coronary angiograms, using a computer-assisted method and a carefully blinded protocol for ...
