Summary
Organic nitrates increase levels of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (Thum et al.,
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2007 Apr;27(4):748-54). Here, we want to test the effects of
two different organic nitrates (PETN, ISDN) on number and function of endothelial progenitor
cells and endothelial function.
