Abstract:
Bioactive substances secreted from various cells of heart and vessels play a very important role in functional homeostasis of cardiovascular system. Discoveries of new bioactive peptides not only boost the cognition of the diseases, but also have extensive clinically prospectives in preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. Bioactive peptides secreted from cardiovascular system have both multiple forms and diverse functions. The functional complexities of peptides correlated with receptor, distribution and expression of receptor subtype, and splicing of gene. In additon, the multifunctions of peptides are concerned with other fragments of the same peptide precursor, and with the choices of the same ligend for multiple receptors.

Regulation of the Cardiovascular System
The regulation of the cardiovascular system involves the autonomic nervous system (ANS), baroreceptors, and chemoreceptors, ensuring that heart rate and blood pressure are appropriately modulated in response to varying physiological demands.
The ANS comprises two main divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system enhances...

Hormonal Regulation of Blood Pressure
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
The adrenal medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, catecholamines that enhance and extend the sympathetic or "fight or flight" physiological response. These hormones escalate heart rate and the force of contraction while...
