The bioavailability of sulforaphane from broccoli products in men and its epigenetic activity
Epidemiological data show a correlation between broccoli consumption and an anti-cancer benefit. This benefit is attributed to the isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SF). Sulforaphane is derived from the myrosinase-catalyzed hydrolysis of glucoraphanin. Both glucoraphanin and myrosinase are present in …
