Popis: Numerous animal and epidemiological studies have demonstrated that consumption of cruciferous vegetables is inversely correlated with cancer incidence. Using the short-term mutagenicity test—in vivo micronucleus test, we investigated inhibition of mutagenicity of 2-amino-3-methyl-3H-imidazo-(4, 5-f)-quinoline (IQ) and N-nitroso-N-methylurea (MNU) by broccoli juice treated by high pressure (500 MPa), for a period of 10 min. This technique of treatment suppresses the growth of micro-organisms at simultaneous conservation of nutritionally important substances (vitamins, polyphenols, and glucosinolates). We also investigated anticlastogenic activity of sulforaphane (SFN) and indole-3-carbinol (I3C). These two substances are found in inactive form (glucosinolate) in cruciferous vegetables. Fourteen-day’s application of broccoli juice and three-day’s application of I3C and SFN led to statistically significant inhibition of mutagenicity IQ and MNU. It seems that, broccoli juice treated by high pressure and its m...
