Activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase, leading to increased cGMP
How does SNP differ from nitroglycerin in terms of NO generation?
Nitroglycerin requires thio-containing compounds to generate NO
What is the main mechanism by which SNP produces vasodilation?
Activating guanylate cyclase and increasing cGMP
