    Original title: Broccoli sprout extract helps control blood sugar
    Recently, an international team of researchers published a paper in the journal Science Translational Medicine that concentrated broccoli sprout extract helps people with type 2 diabetes control blood sugar. Scientists hope to develop new alternative therapies to alleviate the world's growing diabetes problem.
    To find a more viable treatment for diabetes, a team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, Lund University in Sweden, the University of Geneva in Switzerland and others analyzed diabetes-related genes in liver tissue, combined with human genetic data, identified disease characteristics of type 2 diabetes, and then screened 3,852 compounds using an open gene expression dataset. One of the researchers' best-known chemicals, called radish thiocin, is a naturally occurring compound in crusader vegetables that inhibits liver cells in culture from producing glucose.
    In a 12-week randomized placebo-controlled trial, researchers gave concentrated broccoli sprout extract to 97 people with type 2 diabetes, and the results showed that the concentration of blood sugar on an empty stomach was significantly lower than in the control group.
