摘要：

Although the physiologic effects of amyl nitrite are generally understood, little is known about the effects of butyl nitrite. However, we have recently studied this problem in a 25-year-old man partially deficient in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced (NADH)-methemoglobin reductase and in a group of volunteers with normal reductase activity. We have documented that butyl nitrite inhalation can cause subclinical methemoglobinemia in normal subjects and higher levels of methemoglobin in reductase-deficient persons.
