Abstract in brief

The study found that eating 250 grams of broccoli daily for 10 days increased levels of certain nutrients like folate and lutein in young male smokers, but did not significantly change inflammatory markers such as TNF, IL6, or adiponectin.
However, broccoli consumption significantly reduced C-reactive protein (CRP) levels by nearly 50%, suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect that was independent of changes in lutein and folate levels.
The results support the idea that eating more fruits and vegetables like broccoli may help lower inflammation, as indicated by decreased CRP, which is linked to better health outcomes.]
