The present study investigates how intracellular and extracellular changes in SH group concentrations (cysteine and glutathione [GSH]) affect the responsiveness to NTG in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS: GSH and cysteine levels in plasma, vena cava, and aorta were measured after administration of N-acetylserine (placebo, n = 6), N-acetylcysteine (NAC, extracellular and intracellular SH donor, n = 6), oxothiazolidine (OXO, intracellular SH donor, n = 6), buthionine sulfoximine (BSO, intracellular GSH-depleting agent, n = 6), BSO+NAC (n = 6), and BSO+OXO (n = 6) in chronically catheterized conscious rats. In addition, the effect of 2.5 mg NTG/kg i.v. on mean arterial pressure (MAP) was determined before and after the same treatment. NAC (5 mmol/kg i.v. for 2 hours) significantly (p < 0.05) increased extracellular cysteine and GSH levels and potentiated the hypotensive effect of NTG (from 26 +/- 3 to 31 +/- 4 mm Hg [mean +/- SEM], p < 0.05). OXO (5 mmol.kg-1 x hr-1 i.v. for 2 hours) significantly increased intracellular cysteine and GSH levels but had no effect on NTG responsiveness (p > 0.05). BSO (1 g i.p. three times within 24 hours) significantly decreased intracellular GSH levels (p < 0.05) and attenuated the effect of NTG (from 28 +/- 3 to 16 +/- 2 mm Hg). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the acute hypotensive effect of NTG in vivo is: 1) increased by high extracellular GSH and/or cysteine levels (NAC), 2) decreased by low intracellular GSH levels (BSO), and 3) unaffected by high intracellular levels of cysteine and GSH (OXO).",
