nitroglycerin and Sepsis

nitroglycerin has been researched along with Sepsis in 8 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.

Sepsis: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome with a proven or suspected infectious etiology. When sepsis is associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection, it is called severe sepsis. When sepsis is accompanied by HYPOTENSION despite adequate fluid infusion, it is called SEPTIC SHOCK.

" In contrast, no significant reduction in nitroglycerine-induced vascular relaxation was seen in rats with sepsis irrespective of pentoxifylline treatment."7.69Pentoxifylline maintains vascular endothelial cell function during hyperdynamic and hypodynamic sepsis.

" Dose-response relaxation curves were determined for acetylcholine (ACh; 10(-8) to 10(-5) M), which stimulates endothelial nitric oxide production, and for nitroglycerine (10(-9) to 10(-6) M), which directly provides nitric oxide in vivo."1.29A novel nonanticoagulant heparin prevents vascular endothelial cell dysfunction during hyperdynamic sepsis.
