Ameliorative effect of Brassica oleracea var. Italica extract on oxidative damage of arsenic in the rat's brain: biochemical, pathological, and behavioral aspects.

This study aimed to determine the impact of broccoli extract on brain damage caused by metal accumulation. Female rats were categorized into four groups and tested using behavioral, biochemical, and pathological assessments. Results showed improved cognitive function and decreased inflammation in the group that received broccoli extract plus arsenic. Additionally, the extract increased estrogen and gonadotropin hormones, and the cortical neurons appeared improved. The study suggests that broccoli extract has potential medicinal benefits for treating brain damage caused by metal accumulation.
