Once absorbed, glucosinolate-derived isothiocyanates (like sulforaphane) are promptly conjugated to glutathione by a class of phase II detoxification enzymes known as glutathione S -transferases (GSTs) in the liver, and then sequentially metabolized in the mercapturic acid pathway ( Figure 2 )

The function of GPX4 is precisely regulated by nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a key transcription factor that activates the expression of various antioxidant genes, including those encoding GSH synthetase and superoxide dismutase (SOD), facilitating the clearance of excess ROS (Xie et al., 2016
