Changes in sulfhydryl (SH) compound availability may alter the hemodynamic effect of nitroglycerin (NTG). Data on the relation between NTG effect and thiol levels are, however, limited to in vitro experiments. The present study investigates how intracellular and extracellular changes in SH group concentrations (cysteine and glutathione [GSH]) affect the responsiveness to NTG in vivo.
