Several compounds have been shown to induce the mixed function
oxidase enzyme system of animals, and also to inhibit tumor formation.
Included in this category are several vegetables and isolated
vegetable components from the Cruciferae family. In this
study rainbow trout were fed blanched freeze-dried cauliflower,
broccoli, or Brussel sprouts...
The 1995/96 reintroduction of gray wolves (Canis lupus) into Yellowstone National Park
after a 70 year absence has allowed for studies of tri-trophic cascades involving wolves, elk
(Cervus elaphus), and plant species such as aspen (Populus tremuloides), cottonwoods (Populus
spp.), and willows (Salix spp.). To investigate the status of this...
Background:
The dietary agent sulforaphane (SFN) has been reported to induce nuclear factor erythroid 2 (NF-E2)-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-dependent pathways as well as inhibiting histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity. The current investigation sought to examine the relationships between Nrf2 status and HDAC expression in preclinical and translational studies.
Results:
Wild type...

Dietary fiber has been suggested as interfering with
mineral utilization. The influence of broccoli florets and
wastes, cauliflower heads and wastes, wheat bran and Metamucil
on mineral uptake by the rat was determined using
balance studies. All results were compared to control
animals fed diets containing 10% hydrolyzed cellulose.
Utilization...
A brown and burn site preparation project was monitored on an
alder-dominated brushfield in the western Oregon Coast Range. Prefire
vegetation was surveyed, and the fuel complex created by felling
and aerial application of herbicides was evaluated. Post-fire vegetation
was examined during the four months following the August, 1974,
fire....
Phytochemicals from cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, contain a multitude of bioactive compounds that prevent and suppress cancer and promote optimal health. Some of the health promoting effects of cruciferous vegetables are attributed to a class of compounds known as isothiocyanates (ITCs), a potent nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2...
Nine experiments were conducted during 1964 and 1965 to study
the methods of reproduction and mode of spread of sago pondweed
(Potamogeton pectinatus) in irrigation systems.
Frequent treatments of sago pondweed foliage with aromatic
solvent greatly reduced the number of tubers in the substratum of
an irrigation canal. However, complete...
Fire severity is hypothesized as an important driver of bird responses to wildfire. For those species that typically respond negatively to increasing severity, Accessibility of high-severity burned forest may be dependent on the proximity of unburned or low-severity burned forest to meet all of the needs of breeding bird species...
