Abstract in brief

Sulforaphane, a compound found in cruciferous vegetables, has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor effects, and this study explores its potential to treat autoimmune skin diseases like psoriasis and SLE.
In experiments with mice, sulforaphane improved skin lesions in psoriasis-like mice and reduced kidney damage in lupus-prone mice by modulating immune cell populations and decreasing oxidative stress.
The findings suggest sulforaphane can help lower inflammatory immune responses and oxidative damage, which may make it a promising treatment option for autoimmune skin conditions.
