Neurodegenerative Protection

Meaning

Neurodegenerative Protection is the comprehensive biological defense strategy aimed at proactively preventing or significantly slowing the progressive loss of structure and function of neurons, which is the underlying pathology of age-related neurodegenerative diseases. This proactive approach focuses on mitigating key destructive factors like chronic inflammation, persistent oxidative stress, and excitotoxicity within the central nervous system. In the context of hormonal health, this essential protection is heavily reliant on the trophic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant actions of specific steroid hormones and their neuroactive metabolites.
