| vasoactive amine | A substance, such as histamine or serotonin, that contains amino groups and is pharmacologically characterised by its action on the blood vessels (altering vascular caliber or permeability). (05 Mar 2000) |

| vasoactive intestinal contractor | Mouse homologue of endothelin 2. (18 Nov 1997) |
| vasoactive intestinal peptide | <gastroenterology, protein> Peptide of 28 amino acids, originally isolated from porcine intestine, but later found in the central nervous system where it acts as a neuropeptide and is released by specific interneurons. May also affect behaviour of cells of the immune system. Acronym: VIP (05 Jan 1998) |
| vasoactive intestinal polypeptide | A polypeptide hormone secreted most commonly by non-beta islet cell tumours of the pancreas, producing copious watery diarrhoea and faecal electrolyte loss, particularly hypokalaemia; VIP increases the rates of glycogenolysis; stimulates pancreatic bicarbonate secretion. Synonym: vasoactive intestinal peptide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vasoconstriction | The diminution of the calibre of vessels, especially constriction of arterioles leading to decreased blood flow to a part. (18 Nov 1997) |
| vasoconstrictive | 1. Causing narrowing of the blood vessels. Synonym: vasoconstrictor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vasoconstrictor | Something which causes vasoconstriction, or the narrowing of blood vessels so that less blood is able to flow through at a time. This can either be a chemical substance or a nerve. (09 Oct 1997) |
| vasoconstrictor agents | Drugs used to cause constriction of the blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vasodentin | Dentin in which the primitive capillaries have remained uncalcified and so are wide enough to give passage to the formed elements of the blood. Synonym: vascular dentin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vasodentine | <anatomy> A modified form of dentine, which is permeated by blood capillaries; vascular dentine. Origin: L. Vas a vessel + E. Dentine. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| vasodepression | Reduction of tone in blood vessels with vasodilation and resulting lowered blood pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vasodepressor | 1. Producing vasodepression. 2. An agent that produces vasodepression. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vasodepressor substance | An incompletely characterised chemical, apparently produced during liver damage, that tends to decrease vascular pressures and relax arterial walls. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vasodepressor syncope | Faintness or loss of consciousness due to reflex reduction in blood pressure. Synonym: vasovagal syncope. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vasodilatation | A state of increased calibre of the blood vessels. (18 Nov 1997) |

| vasodepressor syncope |
Vasovagal syncope (also vasodepressor syncope or neurocardiogenic syncope) is the most common cause of fainting ("syncope" in medical terminology). Although it is particularly common (both historically and stereotypically) among young women, it is seen across all ages and genders and in otherwise completely healthy people. It is triggered by a number of factors, including prolonged standing, alcohol, fatigue, hunger, and anxiety. ...
