Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the anti-obesity effects of sulforaphane (SFN) and glucoraphanin (GRN) found in broccoli leaf extract (BLE) on fat cells (3T3-L1 adipocytes) and genetically modified obese mice (ob/ob).
- Findings showed that SFN and BLE significantly decreased fat storage and triglyceride levels in both the cells and the mice.
- Additionally, treatment with SFN and BLE improved lipid metabolism by altering the expression of several key genes and reducing fat-related blood markers, indicating a potential therapeutic role against obesity.
