The Nrf-2 pathway is the major cellular defence against oxidative and electrophilic stresses. Briefly, following dissociation from Keap1 (a scaffolding protein which binds Nrf2 and Cul3 ubiquitin ligase for proteasome degradation), Nrf-2 accumulates in the nucleus where it activates the antioxidant
Sulforaphane (SF) is an isothiocyanate found in high levels in crucifers belonging to the family Brassicaceae (including broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, Chinese cabbage and turnips). Many previous studies have documented that consumption of these vegetables is associated with a
The study is a randomised double-blinded dietary intervention study. The study population will consist of men (n=20) aged 18-80 years with a BMI between 19.5 and 35 kg/m2 with low risk prostate cancer (prostate specific antigen [PSA] < 10ng/ml; Gleason grade 6; T category T1 or T2) or intermediate
This study will be a randomized, double-blinded, three-phase crossover trial which will investigate the bioavailability of SF following consumption of broccoli + stilton soup containing different concentrations of glucoraphanin.
The study population will consist of non-smoking men and women aged
Glucosinolates (GSLs) are non-volatile sulphur-containing phytochemicals (secondary metabolites) found in plant tissues of cruciferous crops, such as broccoli, cabbage and watercress. Glucosinolates accumulate in these foods with glucoraphanin being the predominant glucosinolate found in broccoli.
Schedule of visits:
Prior to the screening visit, subjects will be asked to avoid cruciferous vegetables (list will be provided to them), corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications for 1 week prior to the initial visit and again for 1 week prior to all remaining visits. They will
