Red maca (Lepidium meyenii) reduced prostate size in rats.

Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E, 2005
Des études épidémiologiques ont montré que la consommation de légumes crucifères est associée à un risque réduit de cancer de la prostate. Cet effet semble être dû à la teneur en glucosinolates aromatiques. Les glucosinolates sont connus pour avoir des actions à la fois antiprolifératives et proapoptotiques.
