The nitroxyl anion (HNO) is emerging as a novel regulator of cardiovascular function with therapeutic potential in the treatment of diseases such as heart failure. It remains unknown whether tolerance develops to HNO donors, a limitation of currently used nitrovasodilators. The susceptibility of the HNO donor, Angeli's salt (AS), to the development of vascular tolerance was compared with the NO donors, glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) and diethylamine/NONOate (DEA/NO) in rat isolated aortae.
