Several strategies have been explored for neuroprotection in toxicology:
Antioxidants: Use of antioxidants to combat oxidative stress is a common neuroprotective approach. Compounds like Vitamin E and Vitamin C are known to neutralize free radicals and protect neuronal integrity. Anti-inflammatory Agents: Inflammation plays a critical role in neurotoxicity. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as NSAIDs, can mitigate inflammatory responses in the brain. Calcium Channel Blockers: Excessive calcium influx can lead to neuronal damage. Calcium channel blockers help in maintaining calcium homeostasis and protecting neurons. Neurotrophic Factors: These are proteins that support the growth, survival, and differentiation of neurons. Administering neurotrophic factors can enhance neuronal resilience to toxic damage.
