When Nrf2 is exposed to threats to the cell's health it oscillates faster and activates an increase in the cell's defence mechanism including raising the levels of antioxidant.
The researchers from the University's Warwick Medical school successfully increased the speed of Nrf2's movement by artificially introducing health beneficial substances--potential components of new superfoods The beneficial substances comprise broccoli-derived sulforaphane and quercetin
When stimulated by a health beneficial vegetable-derived substance Nrf2's cycle sped up to 80 minutes.
Discussing the health benefits of the research Professor Thornalley argues: The health benefit of Nrf2 oscillating at a fast speed is that surveillance of cell health is increased
when most needed that is when cells are under threat. By understanding how this process works and increasing Nrf2's speed without putting cells under threat new strategies for design of healthier foods
Current designs may have selected substances with suboptimal if not poor health benefits in some cases.
