The measurement of endothelial activation involves monitoring the levels of certain adhesion molecules in the blood, such as soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), and E-selectin
These compounds include phenolic compounds (which possess antioxidant properties and help neutralize free radicals, such as flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids and their derivatives), carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, -carotene, violaxanthin and neoxanthin, which act as powerful antioxidants and support eye health), chlorophylls (which contribute to the green color of broccoli and have potential health-promoting effects), glucosinolates (sulfur-containing compounds that can be converted into cancer-fighting substances in the body, such as sulforaphane (SFN)), vitamins (particularly vitamins A, C and K, which contribute to various health benefits), essential minerals (including selenium, potassium and manganese, which play crucial roles in various bodily functions) and antimicrobial peptides (which have shown potential applications in food preservation and as natural alternatives to synthetic antibiotics) [22]
