Study evaluates the role of cruciferous vegetables and their bioactive components in mitigating inflammatory bowel disease through in vitro, in vivo, and preliminary clinical investigations, suggesting a promising therapeutic avenue.

By Vijay Kumar MalesuApr 21 2024Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc. In a recent review published in the journal Current Developments in Nutrition, researchers assessed the therapeutic potential of cruciferous vegetables and their bioactive compounds in managing inflammatory bowel disease using in vitro, in vivo, and clinical models.

Introduction to cruciferous vegetables and bioactive compounds Cruciferous vegetables belonging to the Brassicaceae family include a variety of nutrient-rich plants such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale. These vegetables are distinguished by their high content of glucosinolates , which are sulfur-containing compounds known to influence human health positively.

Moreover, the anti-inflammatory effects are complemented by the vegetables' antioxidant properties. For example, studies on broccoli sprouts have highlighted their ability to increase the activity of phase II detoxifying enzymes, enhancing cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative damage. This is particularly important in IBD, where oxidative stress plays a critical role in aggravating intestinal inflammation and damage.
