Sulforaphane alleviated vascular remodeling in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension via inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress

Jinjin Pan et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of sulforaphane (SFN) on hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH). The results showed that SFN could inhibit the progression of HPH, reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, and promote apoptosis in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) under hypoxia conditions. SFN also prevented the apoptosis of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (ECs). These findings suggest that SFN has potential therapeutic effects on HPH by improving pulmonary vascular remodeling.

Metabolic and biotransformation effects on dietary glucosinolates, their bioavailability, catabolism and biological effects in different organisms

Zeinab T. Shakour et al.

Summary: Glucosinolate-producing plants have defensive and biological activities against pathogens and herbivores through their metabolic products. Microbial pathogens and insects have evolved detoxification and inhibition mechanisms to adapt to the plant defense system. The interest in using GLS in diets for chronic disease prevention has increased. Deciphering GLS metabolic pathways is critical for generating the biologically active metabolites, ITCs.

Comparative freezing study of broccoli and cauliflower: Effects of electrostatic field and static magnetic field

Qiyong Jiang et al.

Summary: The effects of electrostatic field and static magnetic field on the quality of frozen broccoli and cauliflower were studied. It was found that the electrostatic field treatment at 3 kV/cm had the best overall effect, significantly reducing drip loss and improving the integrity of cells and the content of ascorbic acid. The magnetic field treatment was less effective compared to the electrostatic field treatment.

Studies on exogenous elicitors promotion of sulforaphane content in broccoli sprouts and its effect on the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line

May Ahmed Amer et al.

Summary: The study showed that under the influence of two elicitors, sulforaphane produced by broccoli seedlings can inhibit apoptosis in breast cancer cells, with extracts from MeJA-treated plants exhibiting stronger inhibitory effects. Furthermore, the antiapoptotic activity of sulforaphane may be linked to the expression of genes associated with apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.
