Raloxifene Neuroprotection

Meaning

Raloxifene Neuroprotection refers to the protective, beneficial effects exerted by the Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) raloxifene on delicate neural tissues, particularly the retina and the central nervous system, often observed independent of its primary clinical use for osteoporosis and breast cancer prevention. This specific non-skeletal benefit suggests a broader, systemic role for raloxifene in mitigating age-related neurodegenerative processes and supporting neuronal health. The neuroprotective capacity is a key, emerging area of research, particularly in preventing vision loss or age-related cognitive decline.
