NRF2 pathway as the mechanism behind sulforaphane’s protective effects | Jed Fahey

The 1992 discovery of sulforaphane, a compound derived from broccoli and broccoli sprouts, paralleled the discovery of Nrf2, a cellular protein that participates in the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE biological pathway. Nrf2 regulates the expression of cytoprotective proteins that protect against oxidative stress due to injury and inflammation. Sulforaphane is the most potent naturally occurring inducer of Nrf2. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey describes the early co-discoveries of sulforaphane and Nrf2, and describes the importance of the Nrf2 pathway.
