We observed the impact of broccoli sprout extract on alcohol-induced liver damage in mice. Over 14 days, various doses of broccoli extract were given to the mice, followed by alcohol exposure.
The results were promising, revealing that this extract significantly enhanced the liver's antioxidant capacity. Key protective proteins increased, while stress-related proteins decreased, suggesting that the extract helps shield the liver from the harmful effects of alcohol.
Overall, broccoli extract showed potential in supporting liver health in the context of alcohol consumption.

We explored how broccoli juice can assist in combating metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) using a study involving mice. Over 12 weeks, the mice on a high-fat diet showed promising improvements, including weight loss and reduced insulin resistance when given broccoli juice.
Broccoli helped lower harmful factors like blood glucose and cholesterol levels while enhancing beneficial traits such as antioxidant capacity. It also positively influenced gut flora.
However, while results were encouraging, further studies are necessary to fully understand the implications for human health.

We evaluated how extracts from broccoli by-products might influence liver health, particularly concerning fat accumulation. Using liver cells exposed to fatty acids, we explored the impacts of broccoli leaves, stalks, and flower extracts.
While these extracts showed a dose-dependent reduction in cell viability, they managed to prevent harmful lipid accumulation without affecting cell function at non-lethal concentrations. Thus, broccoli extracts may offer a promising natural intervention to combat fat build-up in liver cells, particularly in the context of obesity-related conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Broccoli shows protective liver effects
We aimed to see how broccoli extracts could combat liver damage from the toxic chemical DMBA in rats. Over 26 weeks, female rats received either water-based or methanol-based broccoli extracts after being exposed to DMBA. Our findings indicated that these broccoli extracts helped reduce oxidative stress and DNA damage in the liver.
While the extracts did have positive effects, they didn’t eliminate all signs of damage, suggesting that broccoli is a helpful dietary addition, but not a complete solution against environmental toxins.

Broccoli compound shows cancer-fighting potential
We investigated the potential of 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), a compound found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, in combating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Through various assays, we observed that DIM markedly inhibited the growth, migration, and invasion of liver cancer cells.
Moreover, treatment with DIM activated specific pathways that led to cancer cell death, suggesting its promise as an anticancer agent for HCC. However, further studies are needed to fully understand its mechanisms and therapeutic applications.

Broccoli powder improves liver health
We examined how maternal intake of broccoli powder during lactation impacts liver health in offspring exposed to a high-fructose diet and maternal protein deficiency. Our research on pregnant rats showed that those consuming broccoli powder had sons with improved insulin sensitivity and reduced liver inflammation.
Specifically, offspring from low protein mothers who received broccoli powder maintained lower insulin levels and showed less macrophage infiltration in the liver. Overall, it appears that adding broccoli to a pregnant rat's diet can positively influence liver health in their male offspring later in life.

We investigated the effects of sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli, on liver disease and insulin resistance. Using a controlled trial, we administered broccoli seed tablets to participants with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease for 12 weeks. We observed that sulforaphane lowered blood sugar levels and improved insulin sensitivity. It also positively influenced gut bacteria, promoting beneficial types that helped reduce inflammation linked to liver issues. Overall, we found promising evidence that sulforaphane could be a valuable ally in managing liver health.
