Neuroprotective Agents

Meaning

Neuroprotective Agents are pharmacological or endogenous compounds that actively shield neurons and glial cells from various forms of acute or chronic insults, including oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and ischemic injury. In the context of wellness, these agents support the long-term structural and functional integrity of the central nervous system, crucial for maintaining cognitive performance and resilience against neurodegeneration. They stabilize cellular membranes and modulate inflammatory cascades within the CNS.
