Diet rich in high glucoraphanin broccoli reduces plasma LDL cholesterol: evidence from randomised controlled trials [PDF]

, 2015
Cruciferous-rich diets have been associated with reduction in plasma LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), which may be due to the action of isothiocyanates derived from glucosinolates that accumulate in these vegetables.

Glucosinolate hydrolysis and bioavailability of resulting isothiocyanates: Focus on glucoraphanin

, 2014
There is a growing interest in the health benefits of broccoli. Sulforaphane, the major bioactive component in broccoli, is an unstable isothiocyanate stored in the plant as glucoraphanin. Myrosinase enzymes release sulforaphane when the plant is crushed.
