Neuroprotective Effects

Meaning

Neuroprotective Effects describe interventions or endogenous states that safeguard neuronal structures and function against insults such as excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, ischemia, or chronic inflammatory cytokine exposure. Within hormonal science, this is particularly relevant as steroid hormones and certain peptides possess intrinsic properties that modulate neuronal resilience and synaptic plasticity. Preserving neural integrity is foundational to cognitive and systemic health maintenance.
