nitroglycerin and Hyperinsulinism

nitroglycerin has been researched along with Hyperinsulinism in 2 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.

Hyperinsulinism: A syndrome with excessively high INSULIN levels in the BLOOD. It may cause HYPOGLYCEMIA. Etiology of hyperinsulinism varies, including hypersecretion of a beta cell tumor (INSULINOMA); autoantibodies against insulin (INSULIN ANTIBODIES); defective insulin receptor (INSULIN RESISTANCE); or overuse of exogenous insulin or HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Physiological hyperinsulinemia has no effect on endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in conduit vessels of healthy individuals, but it induces a slight decline in endothelium-independent vasodilatation, which is entirely explained by the insulin-induced noradrenergic activation."1.38Effect of mild hyperisulinemia on conduit vessel endothelial function: role of noradrenergic activation. ( Boldrini, B; Duranti, E; Ghiadoni, L; Morgantini, C; Natali, A; Stea, F, 2012)
"Thus hyperglycemia with hyperinsulinemia selectively impairs receptor-dependent, endothelium-dependent relaxation."1.29Endothelial dysfunction in a model of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. ( Hager, SR; Meier, DA; Pieper, GM, 1995)
