In the past they have been implicated as toxic feeding deterrents for many herbivorous insects, but currently there is abundant research on their roles in health promotion in humans. Some insects are deterred by these plant-produced compounds, while others benefit from them. For example, Pieris butterflies are stimulated by...
متن کاملBrassica-Derived Plant Bioactives as Modulators of Chemopreventive and Inflammatory Signaling Pathways
A high consumption of vegetables belonging to the Brassicaceae family has been related to a lower incidence of chronic diseases including different kinds of cancer. These beneficial effects of, e.g., broccoli, cabbage or rocket (arugula) intake have been mainly dedicated to the sulfur-containing glucosinolates (GLSs)-secondary plant compounds nearly exclusively present in Brassicaceae-and in pa...
