Blood pressure is a key physiological variable that the body regulates to maintain homeostasis, as evidenced by its inclusion in the definition of homeostatic processes [1], [2], and [3]. Furthermore, homeostasis is responsible for preserving normal blood pressure levels [4], and deviations in these levels are interpreted as signals to trigger homeostatic responses [5] or as indicators of a shift in the body's homeostatic baseline [6].

Homeostasis vs Allostasis — The Urban Health Council urbanhealthcouncil.com 3 facts
claimIn McEwen's model, homeostasis maintains the stability of core tissue parameters like pH and temperature, while allostasis dynamically modifies pericellular parameters like blood pressure and oxygen to support that stability.
claimMcEwen proposed a unifying model where allostasis is complementary to homeostasis, acting as the process that maintains homeostasis through dynamically changing physiological parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate to respond to environmental demands.
claimAllostatic overload (AOL) marks the onset of disease where a return to homeostasis is impossible and a new, unhealthy baseline for the body is created by shifting optimal homeostasis parameters like blood pressure.

claimHomeostasis models the cause of hypertension by pointing to abnormal functionality of the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, or molecular signaling, whereas allostasis explains that the brain deliberately directs these organs on an anticipatory basis to elevate blood pressure for the delivery of resources like glucose and oxygen to large muscle groups.
claimThe homeostatic paradigm interprets consistent mean values in biological parameters, such as blood pressure readings remaining at 120/80 over 10 days, as empirical evidence for homeostasis.
claimHomeostasis is credited with maintaining the checks and balances that preserve normal blood pressure levels in the body.
