Hormones
The Estradiol 17-Beta form of Estradiol may inhibit the ability of many Neurotoxins to destroy Neurons in the Brain.
Quinones
Coenzyme Q10 may inhibit the ability of many Neurotoxins to destroy Neurons in the Brain. [1]
Smart Drugs
Deprenyl may reduce the toxicity of several types of Neurotoxins (including 6-Hydroxydopamine, MPP+ and MPTP).
