Neuroprotective potential of 17‐beta Estradiol: Targeting Inflammation and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease

Our findings so far demonstrate that E2 exerts significant neuroprotective effects against Aβ in primary cortical neurons. E2 effectively mitigates Aβ-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and neurotoxicity by restoring key regulatory proteins, reducing inflammatory markers and, enhancing mitochondrial function. These findings suggest that E2 could potentially serve as a therapeutic agent against AD, addressing both mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation.

Abstract

Our findings so far demonstrate that E2 exerts significant neuroprotective effects against Aβ in primary cortical neurons. E2 effectively mitigates Aβ-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and neurotoxicity by restoring key regulatory proteins, reducing inflammatory markers and, enhancing mitochondrial function. These findings suggest that E2 could potentially serve as a therapeutic agent against AD, addressing both mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation.
