Key result
Haemoglobin was more effective than methaemoglobin at inhibiting vasodilatation induced by nitrovasodilators and IF, likely due to its greater ability to bind nitric oxide and interact with IF.
The study demonstrates that haemoglobin inhibits nitrovasodilator-induced relaxation more effectively than methaemoglobin by directly binding nitric oxide.

May influence nitrovasodilator interpretation in animal models; leaves open human translation.
Martin et al. (1986) studied this question. Haemoglobin and methaemoglobin was evaluated on Inhibition of vasodilator actions. Haemoglobin was more effective than methaemoglobin at inhibiting vasodilatation induced by nitrovasodilators and IF, likely due to its greater ability to bind nitric oxide and interact with IF.
