Abstract:
Tolerance to nitroglycerin is likely attributable to an increased production of reactive oxygen species and an inhibition of its bioactivating enzyme. Pentaerythrityl tetranitrate (PETN) therapy is devoid of tolerance, potentially because of HO-1 induction. Inhibition of HO-1 expression induced “tolerance” to PETN, whereas HO-1 induction prevented tolerance in nitroglycerin-treated rats.
