Vasoprotection

Meaning

Vasoprotection is the physiological process of defending the blood vessels—arteries, veins, and capillaries—from structural damage, functional impairment, and the development of atherosclerotic disease. In the context of hormonal health, this is a crucial effect mediated by specific hormones, particularly estrogen and testosterone, which promote endothelial health, maintain vascular elasticity, and regulate nitric oxide production. Effective vasoprotection is fundamental for cardiovascular longevity and ensuring optimal blood flow to all tissues, including endocrine glands and the brain.
