S‐Nitrosylation of Prostacyclin Synthase Instigates Nitrate Cross‐Tolerance In Vivo
19 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
Development of nitrate tolerance is a major drawback to nitrate therapy. Prostacyclin (PGI2) is a powerful vasodilator produced from prostaglandin (PGH2) by prostacyclin synthase (PGIS) in endothelial cells. This study aimed to determine the role of PGIS S‐nitrosylation in nitrate tolerance induced by nitroglycerin (GTN). In endothelial cells, GTN increased PGIS S‐nitrosylation and disturbed PGH2 metabolism,...
