An endogenous agent or medication that affects blood pressure and/or heart rate by changing vascular activity, also known as vasoactivity, is referred to as a vasoactive substance (effect on blood vessels). It aids the body's homeostatic processes (such the renin-angiotensin system) in maintaining hemodynamic stability by altering vascular compliance and resistance, often through vasodilation and vasoconstriction. Examples of significant endogenous vasoactive compounds include angiotensin, bradykinin, histamine, nitric oxide, and vasoactive intestinal peptide.
