Eating Broccoli Helps to Combat Genetic Skin Disorder

Diet & Nutrition News
When mice with EBS with a K14 deficiency were exposed to sulforaphane, the researchers noted that it significantly reduced epidermal blistering while it was ineffective for a K5 deficient mouse. Sulforaphane still has a long way to go before it can be tested clinically with EBS patients, but the researchers noted that extracts from broccoli sprouts rich in sulforaphane have already been shown to be safe for use in human skin.
The study was reported at the American Society for Cell Biology 47th Annual Meeting.
