Mechanisms of progesterone-induced neuroprotection.
Gonadal steroid hormones such as estrogen and progesterone can no longer be considered strictly within the confines of reproductive function, and with respect to their anatomic targets, extrahypothalamic structures within the brain such as the cerebral cortex have revealed themselves to be important targets. As such, it may come as no surprise that the decline in such hormones, which occurs aft...
متن کاملProgesterone neuroprotection in traumatic CNS injury and motoneuron degeneration.
Studies on the neuroprotective and promyelinating effects of progesterone in the nervous system are of great interest due to their potential clinical connotations. In peripheral neuropathies, progesterone and reduced derivatives promote remyelination, axonal regeneration and the recovery of function. In traumatic brain injury (TBI), progesterone has the ability to reduce edema and inflammatory ...
متن کاملNeuroprotection by Estrogen and Progesterone in Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injury
In recent years there has been a growing body of clinical and laboratory evidence demonstrating the neuroprotective effects of estrogen and progesterone after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI). In humans, women have been shown to have a lower incidence of morbidity and mortality after TBI compared with age-matched men. Similarly, numerous laboratory studies have demonstr...
متن کاملTime-Window of Progesterone Neuroprotection After Stroke and Its Underlying Molecular Mechanisms
Evidence exists for a gender difference in the vulnerability to either stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI) in humans. For example, pre-menopausal women with the high serum levels of ovarian hormones estrogen (E2) and progesterone (P4) have a lower risk of stroke (Kannel et al., 1994; Sacco et al., 1997) and a better outcome following stroke (Thorvaldsen et al., 1995) or TBI (Groswasser et al...
متن کاملProgesterone induces neuroprotection following reperfusion-promoted mitochondrial dysfunction after focal cerebral ischemia in rats
Organelle damage and increases in mitochondrial permeabilization are key events in the development of cerebral ischemic tissue injury because they cause both modifications in ATP turnover and cellular apoptosis/necrosis. Early restoration of blood flow and improvement of mitochondrial function might reverse the situation and help in recovery following an onset of stroke. Mitochondria and relate...
