#Isothiocyanates (ITC) Found in #CruciferousVegetables Inhibit the Freeradical Induced Inflammation through Their Antioxidant Activity, Acccording to Studies

Inflammation is a natural expression by the immune system in induction of white blood cells for protect our body against infection with foreign organisms,

Cruciferous vegetables are a group of vegetables belonging to the family Brassicaceae, including cauliflower, cabbage, cress, bok choy, broccoli, etc.

In a randomized controlled trial in healthy young adults, isothiocyanates found in cruciferous vegetables exhibited anti-inflammatory effects through altered serum concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, C-reactive protein (CRP)), in increased increases in the presence of inflammation in the body tumor, and necrosis factor (TNF) α,, involved in systemic inflammation.

Intake of Cruciferous Vegetables has been shown to reduce the circulation of proinflammatory cytokines, namely IL-6 through inhibiting the expression of an abnormal function of gene Glutathione S-Transferase Theta 1(GSTT1) metabolism in lower levels of glutathione, the antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties.


Dr. Navarro SL, the lead researcher said, " IL-6 concentrations were significantly lower on day 14 of (the double-dose cruciferous) (2xC) and (cruciferous plus apiaceous (carrot family) 1xC+A diets than with the basal diet,...respectively]" and " Twenty-four-hour urinary isothiocyanate excretion was not associated with any of the inflammation markers overall; however, IL-6 was inversely associated with total isothiocyanate excretion in GSTM1".

In support of the above study, isothiocyanates (ITC) from cruciferous vegetables showed to increase levels of serum of Glutathione S-transferases (GST), the enzymes that detoxify a broad range of free radicals in reduced risk of inflammation, particularly in GSTM1-null women.

Furthermore, the phytochemical also increased GSTA1/2, the antioxidant enzyme in GSTM1-null/GSTT1-null men.

Taken together, the intake of Cruciferous Vegetables regularly is associated to lower the effect of proinflammatory cytokines, particularly in adults with gene GSTT1.
