Broccoli, a Potential Neuroprotective Healthy Food

By Kyle J. Norton

The brain and spinal cord make up the nervous system. Brain and Spinal Cord tumors originated are not very common.

Neuroprotection is a process to preserve the neuronal structure and/or function against the death or gradual death of neurons, including the use of medicines and herbs.

In other words, neuroprotection protects the neuronal integrity against the reduction in the rate of neuronal loss over time, inducing neurological disease, including neurodegenerative disease.

A neuron or nerve cell made of a cell body (also called soma), dendrites, and an axon, is a cell in the nervous system that carries electrical impulses.

Neurons are core components of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves that play an essential role to process and transmit information.

* The sensory neurons found within the nervous system that convert external stimuli from the organism's environment into internal electrical impulses. In other words, sensory neurons are activated by sensory input from the environment, including physical input of sound, touch, heat, or light.

*The motor neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles,. In other words, motor neurons directly control all of the muscle movements.

* The interneurons connect the motor and sensory neurons. In other words, the interneurons transfer signals between sensory and motor neurons.

Neurodegenerative disease is the class of condition associated with the progressive loss of neuron occurred mostly in older adults, including dementia. The most common dementia in the US is Alzheimer`s disease (AD).

According to the statistic, dementia affects over 47.5 million people worldwide, approximately 58 percent are living within low and middle-income countries.

Believe it or not, 5.8 million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2019, and two-thirds of people with Alzheimer's disease are women.

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belong to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color, and the mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant on the continent of Europe.

On finding a potential plant that protects the neuron against toxicity, researchers examined the effects sulforaphane (SF), sulforaphane (SFN) is a phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables neuroprotective activity.

According to the results of the trial,
* SFN activated the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) antioxidant response element (ARE) genetic pathway in the production of antioxidant enzymes in the host.

* Furthermore, SFN protected the nervous system from many diseases and toxins, according to small human trials.

* Preclinical data also suggest that SFN protects the nervous system by reducing the risk of many diseases and the burden of symptoms in existing neuro-conditions through multiple mechanisms.

In other words, SFN administration demonstrated neuroprotective effects, in a multitude of neurological diseases and toxin exposures.

Based on the results, researchers said; "SFN is a promising neuroprotective phytochemical which needs further human trials to evaluate its efficacy in preventing and decreasing the burden of many neurological diseases".

Taken altogether, with abundant phytochemical SE,  broccoli process the potential neuroprotective activity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
