Hepatotoxicity of Two Progoitrin-Derived Nitriles in New Zealand White Rabbits
Toxins, 2020 Cattle occasionally develop brassica-associated liver disease (BALD) and photosensitisation when grazing turnip or swede (Brassica spp.) forage crops. The liver toxin in these brassica varieties has yet to be discovered.

Identification and Characterization of Three Epithiospecifier Protein Isoforms in Brassica oleracea
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Glucosinolates present in Brassicaceae play a major role in herbivory defense. Upon tissue disruption, glucosinolates come into contact with myrosinase, which initiates their breakdown to biologically active compounds.
