angiotonins

Example:Vasopressor peptides, such as angiotensins, are involved in the body’s response to hypovolemia and low blood pressure.

Definition:Peptides that cause vasoconstriction, leading to increased blood pressure. These peptides act through various pathways to regulate blood pressure and fluid balance.

Example:Pressor substances like angiotensins play a crucial role in hypertension and the management of fluid homeostasis.

Definition:Compounds that cause an elevation in blood pressure, often through vasoconstriction of blood vessels, acting as potent mediators in the control of blood pressure and fluid balance.
