Metabolomics-Driven Elucidation of Cellular Nitrate Tolerance Reveals Ascorbic Acid Prevents Nitroglycerin-Induced Inactivation of Xanthine Oxidase

Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) has found widespread use for the treatment of angina pectoris, a pathological condition manifested by chest pain resulting from insufficient blood supply to the heart. Metabolic conversion of GTN, a nitric oxide (NO) pro-drug, into NO induces vasodilation and improves blood...
