Broccoli contains glucoraffin, sulforaphane, selenium and isothiocyanates. It has a high vitamin content.

C and dietary fiber. Indole-3-carbinol can also be found in abundance in broccoli. Since they continue

Possessing a number of anti-cancer qualities and benefits, these components found in broccoli are well recognized for being extremely popular. It is widely used to treat different types of cancer, as well as other neurological diseases. The phytochemical and medicinal potential of broccoli is currently covered

review. The medicinal potential of broccoli has been discussed in relation to its use in the treatment of

cancer, diabetes and other major diseases.

Broccoli sprouts contain sulforaphane, which has the potential to treat neurological conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. It is a good source of health, promoting compounds such as glucosinolates, flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acid and vitamins according to a comprehensive review of the literature. Furthermore, broccoli is a type of nutrient that has a wide range of beneficial effects, such as antioxidant, anti-cancer, hepatoprotective, anti-obesity, and anti-diabetic.

Epidemiological evidence suggests that broccoli consumption is inversely associated with the risk of developing cancer at several sites, including the prostate, breast, stomach, and colon. Epidemiological links of broccoli consumption with cancer preventive benefits in humans have been supported by laboratory and small-scale clinical studies. Such protective effects have been largely attributed to isothiocyanates, including sulforaphane.

The primary mechanism of broccoli is believed to be Nrf2-mediated induction of carcinogenic detoxifying/antioxidant enzymes that stimulate the neutralization/elimination of carcinogens and their reactive metabolites or enhance physiological defense against oxidative DNA damage. Other mechanisms have been identified and The list is expanding to cover almost all carcinogenic processes. In addition to its effects on signal transduction mediated by oncogens or tumor suppressor genes, epigenetic regulation is also important in cancer chemoprevention with sulforaphane. Interestingly, sulforaphane induces epigenetic regulation of Nrf2 expression, presumably by promoting demethylation of the gene promoter.
