Resumen

Based on evidence that pregnant women with multiple sclerosis (MS) show a decline in the relapse rate during the third trimester and an increase during the first 3 months postpartum, the suggestion was made that high levels of circulating sex steroids are responsible for pregnancy-mediated neuroprotection. As both estradiol (E(2)) and progesterone exert neuroprotective and myelinating effects on the nervous system, the effects of sex steroids were studied in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS.
