nitroglycerin and Acute Lung Injury

nitroglycerin has been researched along with Acute Lung Injury in 1 studies

Nitroglycerin: A volatile vasodilator which relieves ANGINA PECTORIS by stimulating GUANYLATE CYCLASE and lowering cytosolic calcium. It is also sometimes used for TOCOLYSIS and explosives.
nitroglycerol : A nitrate ester that is glycerol in which nitro group(s) replace the hydrogen(s) attached to one or more of the hydroxy groups.
nitroglycerin : A nitroglycerol that is glycerol in which the hydrogen atoms of all three hydroxy groups are replaced by nitro groups. It acts as a prodrug, releasing nitric oxide to open blood vessels and so alleviate heart pain.

Acute Lung Injury: A condition of lung damage that is characterized by bilateral pulmonary infiltrates (PULMONARY EDEMA) rich in NEUTROPHILS, and in the absence of clinical HEART FAILURE. This can represent a spectrum of pulmonary lesions, endothelial and epithelial, due to numerous factors (physical, chemical, or biological).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Twenty-four anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated piglets (5-7 days old) were randomly divided into four groups: (1) group S, not hypoxic; (2) group C, nebulized saline after hypoxia; (3) group NTG, nebulized nitroglycerine after hypoxia; (4) group SNP, nebulized sodium nitroprusside after hypoxia."3.74Effect of inhalation of nebulized NO donor substance on acute hypoxic lung injury in newborn piglets.
