Abstract
â¶Progesterone is a neuroprotective factor for demyelinating diseases. â¶In lysolecithin-induced spinal cord demyelination, progesterone increases myelination. â¶Progesterone also stimulates the density of precursors and mature oligodendrocytes. â¶In the same model, progesterone also attenuates microglial activation. â¶Progesterone myelinating and antinflammatory effects occur at the spinal cord level.
