Neuroprotective Endocrine Effects

Meaning

Neuroprotective Endocrine Effects refer to the beneficial actions of hormones and their metabolites on the central and peripheral nervous systems, specifically shielding neurons from damage, reducing oxidative stress, and mitigating inflammatory processes. Key hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, exert significant neuroprotective roles by maintaining neuronal membrane integrity, regulating cerebral blood flow, and promoting synaptic health. Recognizing and optimizing these effects is crucial for preventing age-related neurodegeneration and preserving cognitive function.
