Neuroprotective Effects Androgens

Meaning

Neuroprotective Effects of Androgens describes the beneficial actions of male sex hormones, primarily testosterone and its metabolites, on the structure, function, and survival of neurons and glial cells within the central and peripheral nervous systems. These effects are crucial for maintaining cognitive health, mood regulation, and potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative conditions as men age. This biological function extends significantly beyond the hormones’ classical reproductive roles.
