The regulation of blood pressure mediated by the signaling molecule vasopressin. Vasopressin is produced in the hypothalamus, and affects vasoconstriction, and renal water transport. [GOC:mtg_cardio, ISBN:0721643949]
Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), plays a crucial role in regulating systemic arterial blood pressure. This hormone is synthesized in the hypothalamus of the brain and released from the posterior pituitary gland. When blood pressure drops, baroreceptors in the carotid arteries and aortic arch detect the decrease and send signals to the brain. This triggers the release of vasopressin, which acts on the kidneys and blood vessels to elevate blood pressure.
In the kidneys, vasopressin increases water reabsorption, concentrating urine and reducing urine output. This helps to conserve water in the body, leading to an increase in blood volume and consequently, blood pressure.
Vasopressin also acts directly on the blood vessels, causing vasoconstriction. This narrowing of blood vessels increases peripheral resistance, which further elevates blood pressure. Vasopressin preferentially targets the arterioles, the smallest arteries, leading to a significant increase in resistance to blood flow.
The regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by vasopressin is complex and involves multiple mechanisms. These include:
- **Negative feedback loop:** As blood pressure rises, the baroreceptors in the carotid arteries and aortic arch detect the increase and send signals to the brain, inhibiting the release of vasopressin. This mechanism helps to prevent excessive vasoconstriction and blood pressure elevation.
- **Hormonal interactions:** Vasopressin interacts with other hormones, such as angiotensin II and aldosterone, to further regulate blood pressure. Angiotensin II, a powerful vasoconstrictor, enhances the effects of vasopressin, while aldosterone promotes sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys, contributing to blood volume expansion and increased blood pressure.
- **Neural pathways:** Vasopressin release is also influenced by neural pathways, including the sympathetic nervous system, which activates the release of vasopressin in response to stress and low blood pressure.
Overall, vasopressin plays a vital role in maintaining blood pressure homeostasis. By regulating water reabsorption in the kidneys and inducing vasoconstriction, it helps to ensure that blood pressure remains within a normal range, supporting proper organ function and overall health.'
