Elucidation of Sulforaphane-Mediated Effects on the Cellular Human Metabolome Using Metabolic Profiling. [PDF]
Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate derived from broccoli and is related to various health‐promoting effects. By using metabolic profiling on the hepatoblastoma cell line HepG2 several effects on pathways such as TCA cycle, urea cycle and redox metabolism through SFN were identified.

Dietary Broccoli Alters Rat Cecal Microbiota to Improve Glucoraphanin Hydrolysis to Bioactive Isothiocyanates [PDF]
Broccoli consumption brings many health benefits, including reducing the risk of cancer and inflammatory diseases. The objectives of this study were to identify global alterations in the cecal microbiota composition using 16S rRNA sequencing analysis and glucoraphanin (GRP) hydrolysis to isothiocyanates ex vivo by the cecal microbiota, following ...

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

Glucosinolate hydrolysis and bioavailability of resulting isothiocyanates: Focus on glucoraphanin
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. Extraction during supplement formulation or heat processing can destroy myrosinase.
