Zerfu T, Nguyen G, Duncan A, Baltenweck I, Brown F, Iannotti L, et al.
Nutr Res Rev
. 2022 Dec;
36(2):526-543.
PMID: 36522652
Livestock keeping can positively influence the nutritional status of populations and households through increased consumption of animal-source foods (ASF) and other indirect pathways, but can also adversely affect health by...

Br J Nutr
. 2007 Oct;
99(4):773-81.
PMID: 17967216
Isothiocyanates have been implicated in the cancer-protective effects of brassica vegetables. When cabbage is consumed, sinigrin is hydrolysed by plant or microbial myrosinase partly to allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), which is...

Fuller Z, Louis P, Mihajlovski A, Rungapamestry V, Ratcliffe B, Duncan A
Br J Nutr
. 2007 Apr;
98(2):364-72.
PMID: 17403273
Glucosinolate consumption from brassica vegetables has been implicated in reduction of cancer risk. The isothiocyanate breakdown products of glucosinolates appear to be particularly important as chemoprotective agents. Before consumption, brassica...

. 2007 Mar;
97(4):644-52.
PMID: 17349076
The isothiocyanate, sulforaphane, has been implicated in the cancer-protective effects of brassica vegetables. When broccoli is consumed, sulforaphane is released from hydrolysis of glucoraphanin by plant myrosinase and/or colonic microbiota....

Proc Nutr Soc
. 2007 Mar;
66(1):69-81.
PMID: 17343774
The protective effects of brassica vegetables against cancer may be partly related to their glucosinolate content. Glucosinolates are hydrolysed by plant myrosinase following damage of plant tissue. Isothiocyanates are one...

J Agric Food Chem
. 2006 Sep;
54(20):7628-34.
PMID: 17002432
In cabbage, glucosinolates such as sinigrin are hydrolyzed by plant myrosinase to allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), allyl cyanide, and, in the presence of an epithiospecifier protein, 1-cyano-2,3-epithiopropane (CEP). Isothiocyanates have been...

PMID: 16770714
Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are a major constraint to the ingestion of food by folivorous and browsing herbivores. Understanding the way in which mammalian detoxification pathways are adapted to deal...

PMID: 16671014
Animals often face complex and changing food environments. While such environments are challenging, an animal should make an association between a food type and its properties (such as the presence...

. 2005 Aug;
31(4):729-44.
PMID: 16124248
Browse species undergo seasonal changes in nutritional value and secondary plant compound concentrations. The capacity of herbivores to monitor such change through postingestive effects and to modify their food choice...

. 2004 Jan;
13(1):125-31.
PMID: 14744743
Cabbage contains the glucosinolate sinigrin, which is hydrolyzed by myrosinase to allyl isothiocyanate. Isothiocyanates are thought to inhibit the development of cancer cells by a number of mechanisms. The effect...
