Neuroprotective Hormone Action

Meaning

Neuroprotective Hormone Action describes the capacity of specific endogenous or exogenous hormones to shield neurons from injury, reduce oxidative stress, mitigate inflammation, and prevent cell death within the central nervous system. This protective function is crucial for maintaining cognitive health and preventing neurodegenerative processes associated with aging or trauma. Hormones exert this action through both genomic and rapid non-genomic signaling pathways.
