Journal ArticleDOI
The chemical diversity and distribution of glucosinolates and isothiocyanates among plants
TL;DR: This review addresses the complex array of glucosinolates, the precursors of isothiocyanates, present in sixteen families of dicotyledonous angiosperms including a large number of edible species including Brassica vegetables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broccoli sprouts: An exceptionally rich source of inducers of enzymes that protect against chemical carcinogens
TL;DR: The authors showed that 3-day-old sprouts of certain crucifers including broccoli and cauliflower contain 10-100 times higher levels of glucoraphanin (the glucosinolate of sulforaphane) than do the corresponding mature plants.

Moringa oleifera: A Review of the Medical Evidence for Its Nutritional, Therapeutic, and Prophylactic Properties. Part 1.
Jed W. Fahey,B Lewis +1 more
TL;DR: Critically evaluate the published scientific evidence on M. oleifera, highlight claims from the traditional and tribal medicinal lore and from non-peer reviewed sources that would benefit from further, rigorous scientific evaluation, and suggest directions for future clinical research that could be carried out by local investigators in developing regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulforaphane inhibits extracellular, intracellular, and antibiotic-resistant strains of Helicobacter pylori and prevents benzo[a]pyrene-induced stomach tumors.
Jed W. Fahey,Xavier Haristoy,Patrick M. Dolan,Thomas W. Kensler,Isabelle Scholtus,Katherine K. Stephenson,Paul Talalay,Alain Lozniewski +7 more
TL;DR: Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate abundant as its glucosinolate precursor in certain varieties of broccoli and broccoli sprouts, is a potent bacteriostatic agent against 3 reference strains and 45 clinical isolates of H. pylori, irrespective of their resistance to conventional antibiotics.
