Any process in which the force of blood traveling through the circulatory system is increased. [GOC:go_curators, GOC:mtg_cardio]
Positive regulation of blood pressure is a complex physiological process that involves multiple organ systems and signaling pathways to maintain a stable blood pressure within a healthy range. It is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste products. This process is tightly regulated by a balance of vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) and vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), as well as by the heart's pumping action.
**Key Players and Mechanisms:**
* **Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS):** This system plays a central role in blood pressure regulation. When blood pressure drops, the kidneys release renin, which triggers a cascade of events that ultimately lead to the production of angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor that increases blood pressure. It also stimulates the release of aldosterone, a hormone that promotes sodium and water retention, further increasing blood pressure.
* **Sympathetic Nervous System:** The sympathetic nervous system, also known as the "fight-or-flight" system, releases norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that causes vasoconstriction and increases heart rate, thereby raising blood pressure.
* **Baroreceptors:** These specialized sensory receptors located in the walls of blood vessels, particularly the carotid arteries and aortic arch, detect changes in blood pressure. When blood pressure rises, baroreceptors send signals to the brain that trigger the release of signals to reduce heart rate and dilate blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
* **Endothelium:** The inner lining of blood vessels, called the endothelium, releases nitric oxide (NO), a powerful vasodilator that relaxes smooth muscle cells in blood vessel walls, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure.
* **Other Factors:** Hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline), vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone), and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) also play a role in regulating blood pressure.
**Positive Regulation:**
Positive regulation of blood pressure involves mechanisms that increase blood pressure. This is essential for maintaining adequate blood flow to vital organs under conditions of stress, exercise, or low blood volume. The following are examples of positive regulatory mechanisms:
* **Increased Renin Release:** As mentioned above, the RAAS system plays a central role in positive regulation. When blood pressure drops, the kidneys release more renin, leading to increased angiotensin II production and vasoconstriction.
* **Sympathetic Nervous System Activation:** During stress or physical activity, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, releasing norepinephrine that increases heart rate and constricts blood vessels, raising blood pressure.
* **Reduced Nitric Oxide Production:** Under certain conditions, such as during inflammation or stress, the endothelium may produce less nitric oxide, leading to reduced vasodilation and increased blood pressure.
* **Hormonal Influences:** Epinephrine released from the adrenal glands during stress can cause vasoconstriction and increase heart rate, elevating blood pressure. Vasopressin, another hormone, promotes water retention, which can also contribute to increased blood pressure.
**Conclusion:**
Positive regulation of blood pressure is a dynamic process that involves a delicate interplay of hormonal, neural, and vascular mechanisms. It is essential for maintaining adequate blood flow to tissues and organs under various physiological conditions. Dysregulation of this process can lead to serious health problems, such as hypertension (high blood pressure) and cardiovascular disease.'

| ascorbic acid | Ascorbic Acid: A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant. L-ascorbate : The L-enantiomer of ascorbate and conjugate base of L-ascorbic acid, arising from selective deprotonation of the 3-hydroxy group. Required for a range of essential metabolic reactions in all animals and plants. L-ascorbic acid : The L-enantiomer of ascorbic acid and conjugate acid of L-ascorbate. vitamin C : Any member of a group of vitamers that belong to the chemical structural class called butenolides that exhibit biological activity against vitamin C deficiency in animals. The vitamers include L-ascorbic acid and its salt, ionized and oxidized forms. | ascorbic acid; vitamin C | coenzyme; cofactor; flour treatment agent; food antioxidant; food colour retention agent; geroprotector; plant metabolite; skin lightening agent |

| ((5z)5-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)methylene-2-phenylamino-3,5-dihydro-4h-imidazol-4-one) | leucettine L41 : A member of the class of benzodioxoles that is 1,3-benzodioxole substituted by a (2-anilino-5-oxo-1,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ylidene)methyl group at position 5. It is an inhibitor of DYRK1A, DYRK2, CLK1, and CLK3 (IC50s = 0.04, 0.035, 0.015, and 4.5 muM, respectively). | benzodioxoles; imidazolone; substituted aniline | autophagy inducer; EC 2.7.11.22 (cyclin-dependent kinase) inhibitor; EC 2.7.12.1 (dual-specificity kinase) inhibitor; neuroprotective agent; nootropic agent |
| clozapine | clozapine : A benzodiazepine that is 5H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepine substituted by a chloro group at position 8 and a 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl group at position 11. It is a second generation antipsychotic used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. Clozapine: A tricylic dibenzodiazepine, classified as an atypical antipsychotic agent. It binds several types of central nervous system receptors, and displays a unique pharmacological profile. Clozapine is a serotonin antagonist, with strong binding to 5-HT 2A/2C receptor subtype. It also displays strong affinity to several dopaminergic receptors, but shows only weak antagonism at the dopamine D2 receptor, a receptor commonly thought to modulate neuroleptic activity. Agranulocytosis is a major adverse effect associated with administration of this agent. | benzodiazepine; N-arylpiperazine; N-methylpiperazine; organochlorine compound | adrenergic antagonist; dopaminergic antagonist; EC 3.4.21.26 (prolyl oligopeptidase) inhibitor; environmental contaminant; GABA antagonist; histamine antagonist; muscarinic antagonist; second generation antipsychotic; serotonergic antagonist; xenobiotic |
| olanzapine | olanzapine : A benzodiazepine that is 10H-thieno[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepine substituted by a methyl group at position 2 and a 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl group at position 4. Olanzapine: A benzodiazepine derivative that binds SEROTONIN RECEPTORS; MUSCARINIC RECEPTORS; HISTAMINE H1 RECEPTORS; ADRENERGIC ALPHA-1 RECEPTORS; and DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. It is an antipsychotic agent used in the treatment of SCHIZOPHRENIA; BIPOLAR DISORDER; and MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER; it may also reduce nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy. | benzodiazepine; N-arylpiperazine; N-methylpiperazine | antiemetic; dopaminergic antagonist; histamine antagonist; muscarinic antagonist; second generation antipsychotic; serotonergic antagonist; serotonin uptake inhibitor |
| aprepitant | aprepitant : A morpholine-based antiemetic, which is or the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy. Aprepitant is a selective high-affinity antagonist of human substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors. Aprepitant: A morpholine neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist that is used in the management of nausea and vomiting caused by DRUG THERAPY, and for the prevention of POSTOPERATIVE NAUSEA AND VOMITING. | (trifluoromethyl)benzenes; cyclic acetal; morpholines; triazoles | antidepressant; antiemetic; neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist; peripheral nervous system drug; substance P receptor antagonist |
| 8-hydroxyguanine | 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine : An oxopurine that is guanine in which the hydrogen at position 8 is replaced by an oxo group and in which the nitrogens at positions 7 and 9 each bear a hydrogen. 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine: was substituted for guanine at G(8), G(9), G(14), or G(15) in the human telomeric oligonucleotide 5'-d[AGGGTTAG(8)G(9)GTT AG(14)G(15)GTTAGGGTGT]-3' | oxopurine | |
