Glucoraphanin: a broccoli sprout extract that ameliorates obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance [PDF]

Adipocyte, 2018
Obesity is a low-grade sustained inflammatory state that causes oxidative stress in different metabolic tissues, which leads to insulin resistance and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Particularly, obesity-induced metabolic endotoxemia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and inflammation.

044 Selection for Floret Glucoraphanin Concentration Among Inbred Broccoli [PDF]

HortScience, 1999
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. Italica Group) is a rich source of the aliphatic glucosinolate glucoraphanin. The glucoraphanin breakdown product, sulforaphane, has been shown to induce Phase II detoxication enzymes (e.g., Quinone Reductase) and has attracted attention as a potential chemoprotector against cancer. The objectives of this research were to
