Regardless of whether or not one has heart problems, nitroglycerin (NTG) relaxes smooth muscle. This is most important in blood vessels, where it enlarges arteries and veins, improving circulation and lowering blood pressure.
Its most common medical use is for angina pectoris (discomfort, often in the chest, or breathing problems due to inadequate circulation to the heart muscle), but it's also effective for esophageal spasm.
If too much NTG is taken in a short period, particularly if one is not used to it, the BP can be dangerously lowered, reducing circulation and possibly causing fainting or other serious problems. Fortunately NTG's half-life is just 5-10 minutes, so it wears off rapidly in case of overdose.
The estimated adult oral lethal dose of nitroglycerin is 200 mg to 1,200 mg. That is quite a lot as the normal dose per use is not more than 0.8 mg.
Nitroglycerin is a colorless to pale yellow liquid.
The chemical formula for nitroglycerin is C3H5N3O9. To calculate the number of moles of nitroglycerin, divide the given mass of nitroglycerin by its molar mass (227.09 g/mol). To find the number of molecules of nitroglycerin, multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol).
Nitroglycerin was invented by Italian chemist Ascanio Sobrero in 1847.
No, nitroglycerin is not made from soap. Nitroglycerin is a chemical compound used in explosives and medication, while soap is typically made from fats or oils and an alkaline substance through a process called saponification.
He invented nitroglycerin - explosives - kill people

Nitroglycerin doesn't really have a plural, since it is a liquid.
How is Nitroglycerin related to fat?!?!?!?!
Nitroglycerin is one molecule.
Nitroglycerin is a colorless to pale yellow liquid.
The opposite of nitroglycerin would be a substance that is stable and not explosive.

The scientific name for nitroglycerin is glyceryl trinitrate.
nitroglycerin tablets or nitroglycerin spray can both be applied sublingually (under the tongue). Either of these methods are the best type to prevent angina Pectoris
"Nitroglycerine" is the common name.Dynamite is a mixture of nitroglycerin and an inert material such as diatomaceous earth.
