sulforaphane and Keratoconus

sulforaphane has been researched along with Keratoconus in 1 studies

sulforaphane: from Cardaria draba L.
sulforaphane : An isothiocyanate having a 4-(methylsulfinyl)butyl group attached to the nitrogen.

Keratoconus: A noninflammatory, usually bilateral protrusion of the cornea, the apex being displaced downward and nasally. It occurs most commonly in females at about puberty. The cause is unknown but hereditary factors may play a role. The -conus refers to the cone shape of the corneal protrusion. (From Dorland, 27th ed)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The aim of the present study was to examine whether activation of the nuclear factor E2‑related factor 2 (Nrf‑2)/heme oxygenase‑1 (HO‑1) antioxidant pathway in the cornea was involved in the protective effect of sulforaphane (SF) following keratoconus (KC) injury."7.88Sulforaphane protects rabbit corneas against oxidative stress injury in keratoconus through activation of the Nrf-2/HO-1 antioxidant pathway.
