Progesterone Neuroprotection

Meaning

Progesterone Neuroprotection refers to the inherent capacity of the endogenous steroid hormone progesterone to effectively shield and preserve delicate neuronal tissue from damage following acute traumatic injury or during chronic neurodegenerative processes. This potent protective effect is a critical and expanding area of neuroendocrine research, strongly suggesting a valuable therapeutic role for progesterone in acute conditions such as traumatic brain injury, ischemic stroke, and chronic disorders like multiple sclerosis. Progesterone acts as a fundamental, natural guardian of the structural and functional integrity of the central nervous system.
