Effects of glutathione S‐transferase inhibitors on nitroglycerin action in pig isolated coronary arteries

1. The present study was designed to clarify the role of glutathione S‐transferase (GST) in the vasorelaxation response and development of tolerance to nitroglycerin (GTN) using GST inhibitors.
