In experimental animal models, long-term in vivo treatment with nitroglycerin (NTG) induces both endothelial dysfunction and tolerance to nitrates. However, it is still controversial whether nitrate tolerance in humans is associated with both endothelial dysfunction and impaired vascular response to nitrovasodilator-derived NO.
