How Glucosinolates Affect Generalist Lepidopteran Larvae: Growth, Development and Glucosinolate Metabolism [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Multiple lepidopteran larvae feed successfully on plants containing glucosinolates despite the diverse array of toxic and deterrent breakdown products, such as isothiocyanates (ITCs), formed upon plant damage.

Glucosinolates, a natural chemical arsenal: More to tell than the myrosinase story
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Glucosinolates are a group of thioglucosides that belong to the class of plant nitrogen-containing natural products. So far, very little biological activity has been associated with intact glucosinolates.

The Metabolism of Glucosinolates by Gut Microbiota [PDF]
Nutrients, 2021 Glucosinolates (GLS) and their derivatives are secondary plant metabolites abundant in Brassicaceae. Due to the enzymatic reaction between GLS and myrosinase enzyme, characteristic compounds with a pungent taste are formed, used by plants to defend ...

Bioavailability of glucosinolates and their breakdown products: Impact of processing
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2016 Glucosinolates are a large group of plant secondary metabolites with nutritional effects, and are mainly found in cruciferous plants. After ingestion, glucosinolates could be partially absorbed in their intact form through the gastrointestinal mucosa ...

Retrograde sulfur flow from glucosinolates to cysteine in Arabidopsis thaliana
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Specialized (secondary) metabolites have been largely considered bioactive “end” products synthesized from primary metabolites. We report biochemical evidence of a retrograde flow of sulfur atoms from specialized metabolites (glucosinolates)

Glucosinolates and Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Mustard Seeds: Phytochemistry and Pharmacology
Plants, 2022 Seeds from mustard (genera Brassica spp. and Sinapsis spp.), are known as a rich source of glucosinolates and omega-3 fatty acids. These compounds are widely known for their health benefits that include reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of ...
