Neuroprotective Effects

Meaning

The biological and pharmacological mechanisms that actively defend the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous systems against acute injury, chronic degeneration, or metabolic stress. In the context of hormonal health, certain steroids and their metabolites, like progesterone and estrogen, exert potent effects by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation in neural tissues. This protection is vital for maintaining cognitive function and neurological longevity.
