Glucoraphanin conversion into sulforaphane and related compounds by gut microbiota by Tetiana R. Dmytriv, Tetiana R. Dmytriv, Oleh Lushchak, Oleh Lushchak, Volodymyr I. Lushchak, Volodymyr I. Lushchak

Emerging evidence suggests that variations in gut microbiota composition significantly influence the efficiency and outcome of glucoraphanin metabolism, while sulforaphane itself may reciprocally modulate gut microbiota composition and functionality. …”
