Estrogens and neuroprotection in retinal diseases
Estrogens play a critical role in the normal growth and development of humans and in recent years our understanding of their effects in the central nervous system (CNS) have been advancing rapidly. It is now known that estrogens influence synaptic plasticity, brain development, and memory. In addition, estrogens have been shown to be neuroprotective in degenerative disorders. The understanding ...
متن کاملAnti-oxidative neuroprotection by estrogens in mouse cortical cultures.
Estrogen replacement therapy in postmenopausal women may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, possibly by ameliorating neuronal degeneration. In the present study, we examined the neuroprotective spectrum of estrogen against excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and serum-deprivation-induced apoptosis of neurons in mouse cortical cultures. 17beta-estradiol as well as 17alpha-estradiol and estron...
متن کاملNeuroprotection against oxidative stress by estrogens: structure-activity relationship.
Oxidative stress-induced neuronal cell death has been implicated in different neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases; one such ailment is Alzheimer's disease. Using the Alzheimer's disease-associated amyloid beta protein, glutamate, hydrogen peroxide, and buthionine sulfoximine, we investigated the neuroprotective potential of estrogen against oxidative stress-induced cell death....
متن کاملNeuroglobin, a Novel Target for Endogenous Neuroprotection against Stroke and Neurodegenerative Disorders
Brain neurons and tissues respond to sublethal injury by activating endogenous protective pathways. Recently, following the failure of a large number of clinical trials for protective strategies against stroke that aim to inhibit a specific ischemia response pathway, endogenous neuroprotection has emerged as a more promising and hopeful strategy for development of therapeutics against stroke an...
متن کاملHemin‑mediated neuroglobin induction exerts neuroprotection following ischemic brain injury through PI3K/Akt signaling.
The aim of the present study was to uncover the mechanism underlying the neuroprotection of Hemin‑mediated neuroglobin (Ngb) in an in vivo model of brain injury. Sixty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=12, each group): sham surgery, ischemia, Hemin, LY294002 (LY) and Hemin + LY. Focal cerebral ischemia was established by unilateral middle cerebral artery oc...
