The ultimate mode of action by which nitroglycerin elicits vasodilation remains elusive. Animal studies point to an involvement of pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins. The 825T allele of the GNB3 C825T polymorphism in the gene encoding the G protein beta3 subunit is associated with enhanced signal transduction via pertussis toxin-sensitive pathways in vitro. We hypothesized that G proteins have a role in nitroglycerin-mediated vasodilation and that carriers of the 825T allele would exhibit a stronger response to nitroglycerin.
