Neuroprotective Estrogen

Meaning

Neuroprotective Estrogen refers to the beneficial actions of estrogen hormones, particularly estradiol, in preserving neuronal structure, function, and survival within the central nervous system. This protective effect is crucial for maintaining cognitive function, regulating mood, and reducing the risk of neurodegenerative conditions, especially as women transition through menopause. It highlights the systemic role of sex hormones as master regulators that extend far beyond reproductive tissues.
