Description
Norgestrel is a synthetic progestin commonly used alone or in combination with an estrogen for contraception. Norgestrel suppresses the secretion of luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones (LH and FSH), thickens cervical mucus, and slows the transit of ova through the fallopian tubes. (In Vitro) :Norgestrel (20 μM; 24 hours; 661W cells) treatment significantly increases cellular viability after serum deprivation and so it is demonstrated that Norgestrel is neuroprotective to stressed 661W cells.Norgestrel (20 μM; 24 hours; 661W cells) treatment decreases apoptotic induced cleavage of PARP and caspase-3.Norgestrel (20 μM; 6 hours; 661W cells) treatment bFGF is results in a significant upregulation of bFGF mRNA in photoreceptor cells. (In Vivo) :Norgestrel (100 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; for 6, 24 or 48 hours; Balb/c mice) treatment can prevent light-induced ROS in photoreceptor cells, and subsequent cell death. Norgestrel acts via post-translational modulation of the major antioxidant transcription factor Nrf2; bringing about its phosphorylation, subsequent nuclear translocation, and increases levels of its effector protein superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) .
