Abstract

Sulforphane (SF) is a family of biologically active compound that is distributed widely in broccoli. Although studies in rodents have shown that these compounds are effective and versatile inhibitors of tumorigenesis, the role of dietary SF in protection against human cancers remains to be established. The objective of this study was to explore the quantitative relationship between the dietary intake of cruciferous vegetables and urinary excretion of SF. The effects of dietary broccoli on the body's ability to detoxify were studied in six male subjects between the ages of 22~30 years. Study included administering a glucosinolate-free diet for 8 days (control period). The broccoli diet was further subdivided into two periods; 250 g broccoli was fed per day during the first three days and 500 g broccoli was fed per day during the latter three days. After an 8-day washout period, a second experiment was conducted. The same protocol was used with the exception that uncooked broccoli was consumed. Urinary SF mercapturate was measured to determine the bioavailability of broccoli. The linear trend for mercapturate excretion was dose-dependent, resulting in 3.8- and 1.9-fold increase by the third and six days, respectively, compared to the control. Lower amount of SF-NAC conjugate was detected in cooked broccoli compared to fresh broccoli suggesting cooking may have caused a significant loss in glucosinolates in cruciferous vegetables. Therefore, SF can be used as a biomarker for intake of cruciferous vegetables.

본 연구는 건강한 남성들을 대상으로 신선한 브로콜리와 조리된 브로콜리를 섭취시킨 후, glucosinolates의 가수분해물질인 ITC가 mercapturic acid pathway를 거쳐 소변을 통해 배설되는 양을 측정하였다. 브로콜리를 섭취시키기 전 8일간은 glcusinolate가 함유되지 않는 식사(control period)를 섭취하도록 하였다. 그 이후에 조리되지 않은 신선한 브로콜리를 각각 3일간 250 g과 500 g씩 섭취시키면서 실험기간 동안 배설되는 소변을 수집하였다. 1차 실험이 종료된 후에 다시 8일 동안의 세척기간을 거친 후, 전자레인지에 가열한 브로콜리를 250 g과 500 g씩 각각 3일간 섭취시키면서 실험기간 내내 소변을 수집하였다. 수집된 소변으로부터 SF mercapturic acid의 양을 측정하여 HPLC로 분석하였다. 섭취한 브로콜리의 양과 소변으로 배설되는 mercapturic acid의 양은 직선의 상관관계를 보였다. 대조군과 비교할 때, 신선한 브로콜리를 섭취했을 때, 소변으로 배설되는 mercapturic acid의 양이 3일과 6일째 각각 3.8배와 1.9배 증가하였다. 브로콜리를 전자레인지에 익혀서 섭취시켰을 때는 소변으로 배설되는 mercapturic acid의 양이 신선한 경우와 비교하여 감소하였다. 이는 가열조리를 통해 glucosinolate의 양이 감소하였음을 의미한다. 식이로 섭취한 glucosinolate로부터 전환된 ITC가 소변으로 배설되는 생체마커를 측정하고 십자화과 채소를 통해 섭취하는 SF의 양과 소변을 통해 배설되는 양과의 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 본 실험결과는 십자화과 채소 섭취의 양을 예측하는 유용한 생체마커로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
