<h4>Background</h4>Isothiocyanates, compounds found primarily in cruciferous vegetables, have been shown in laboratory studies to possess anticarcinogenic activity. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are involved in the metabolism and elimination of isothiocyanates; thus, genetic variations in these enzymes may affect in vivo bioavailability and the activity of isothiocyanates.<h4>Objective</h4>The objective was to prospectively evaluate the association between urinary isothiocyanate concentratio ...[more]
