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.

Factors Influencing Glucoraphanin and Sulforaphane Formation in Brassica Plants: A Review

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2012
Sulforaphane is a type of sulfur-containing isothiocyanates hydrolyzed from glucosinolates by myrosinase found in Brassica plants. Sulforaphane is a naturally occurring inducer of phase II enzymes in human and animal bodies to detoxify cancer-causing ...

High-level production of health-beneficial glucoraphanin by multiplex editing of AOP2 gene family in mustard. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Summary Intake of glucosinolates through the consumption of cruciferous vegetables has been associated with numerous health benefits. In recent decades, glucosinolate glucoraphanin has gained a lot of attention, as its hydrolysis product (sulforaphane) is known to possess numerous health‐promoting benefits, including anti‐cancer and chemopreventive ...

Production of the Cancer-Preventive Glucoraphanin in Tobacco [PDF]

Molecular Plant, 2010
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated reduced risk of developing cancer upon consumption of diets rich in cruciferous vegetables. This chemoprevention has been largely attributed to the presence of the natural products glucosinolates, particularly the methionine-derived glucoraphanin from broccoli.
