Developmental toxicity of glyceryl trinitrate in quail embryos

Comparison with glyceryl trinitrate

The coronary haemodynamic effects of nifedipine and glyceryl trinitrate were compared in 22 patients undergoing investigations for suspected coronary artery disease. Myocardial blood flow was estimated by the coronary sinus thermodilution technique. In sinus rhythm nifedipine increased mean coronary sinus flow from 135 ml/min to 152 m/min, and reduced arterio-coronary sinus oxygen difference fr...

Glyceryl trinitrate before coronary angiography.

Patients' knowledge of sublingual glyceryl trinitrate.

of stones from the gall bladder.3 There are several clinical implications. The long contiguous course of the cystic duct and common hepatic duct could explain why surgeons sometimes inadvertently leave a long remnant of cystic duct, which is reputedly a cause of the postcholecystectomy syndrome.4 Furthermore, the migration of stones from the gall bladder into the contiguous segment may explain ...

Glyceryl trinitrate ointment in angina pectoris.

Skin absorption of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) has been recognized for a long time. The effect of GTN and a placebo ointment in prevention of chest pain has been assessed and compared by studying the exercise capacity in 17 patients with angina pectoris. The placebo cream was ineffective but the GTN ointment was found to have beneficial effect in relief of pain in 16 cases. This was established b...

Activation of trigeminovascular neurons by glyceryl trinitrate.

The effect of intra-carotid arterial infusions of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), a substance known to precipitate headache, including migraine, upon the spontaneous activity of trigeminal neurons with craniovascular input was studied in cats. Second-order craniovascular neurons which received sensory input from the superior sagittal sinus were recorded in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis. Infusions ...
