Abstract in brief

Sulforaphane (SFN), found in cruciferous vegetables, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiaging properties by activating the Nrf2 pathway and inhibiting the NFB pathway.
It also influences epigenetics by inhibiting HDAC and DNA methyltransferases and affects mitochondrial dynamics, helping maintain cellular health and energy production.
SFN promotes proteostasis by activating the proteasome, which can increase lifespan and prevent neurodegeneration, making it a promising compound for aging and brain health.]
