Glucosinolates from Cruciferous Vegetables for Cancer Chemoprevention
Prevention and/or protection against chemical carcinogens by phytochemicals present in extensively consumed glucosinolate-containing cruciferous vegetables is of great of interest, as they provide a safe and cost effective means of combating cancer. Extensive epidemiological studies revealed repeatedly an inverse relationship between cruciferous vegetable consumption and the incidence of cancer...
متن کاملSelenium and Glucosinolates in Cruciferous Vegetables: Metabolic Interactions and Implications for Cancer Chemoprevention in Humans
Cancer is a leading cause of death in North America, and poor diet is suspected as a causative factor in 1/3 of all cancer deaths. Epidemiologic studies have shown that a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli is protective against many cancers. Broccoli contains sulforaphane (SI), a substance that activates promoter elements in certain phase II detoxification enzymes of animals, ...
متن کاملHuman metabolism and excretion of cancer chemoprotective glucosinolates and isothiocyanates of cruciferous vegetables.
Isothiocyanates and their naturally occurring glucosinolate precursors are widely consumed as part of a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables. When plant cells are damaged, glucosinolates are released and converted to isothiocyanates by the enzyme myrosinase. Many isothiocyanates inhibit the neoplastic effects of various carcinogens at a number of organ sites. Consequently, these agents are attra...
متن کاملCruciferous vegetables consumption and the risk of ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis of observational studies
BACKGROUND To quantify the effect of cruciferous vegetable consumption on the incidence of ovarian cancer by meta-analyzing the existing observational studies and provides quantitative and high-level evidence. METHODS A detailed literature search of Medline and EMBASE for all relevant papers published. A meta-analysis was conducted for the association between cruciferous vegetable consumption...
متن کاملIn vitro antiproliferative activity of isothiocyanates and nitriles generated by myrosinase-mediated hydrolysis of glucosinolates from seeds of cruciferous vegetables.
A comparison of the effect of isothiocyanates and nitriles derived from some glucosinolates, namely, epi-progoitrin, sinalbin, glucotropaeolin, glucocheirolin, and glucoraphenin, on human erythroleukemic in vitro cultured cells was studied. Many studies have in fact evidenced that a consumption of vegetable containing glucosinolates could reduce the development of colorectal cancer. In the expe...
