The sulforaphane also increased heat shock proteins in the brain.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
The sulforaphane also increased heat shock proteins in the brain.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So I was very surprised. I guess not that, it wasn't that shocking once I found out that sulforaphane activates, because it is a stress response pathway, heat shock proteins do respond to stress like heat stress.
The heat shock protein, that really caught my attention. I came across it when I was reading about sulforaphane and how it can be neuroprotective for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, and even Huntington's.
Sulforaphane also, sorry, up-regulates the so-called heat shock response.
I was a little surprised however to find that sulfurophane activates many heat shock proteins by increasing the levels of heat shock factor 1 known as HSF-1 which is a major regulator of many different heat shock proteins. The induction of heat shock proteins may be an additional mechanism the body has against the aggregation of proteins which have been shown to confer some protection against Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.
