Research Progress in Electrophiles in Foods

Abstract

Abstract: Electrophiles in foods are efficient and low toxic inducer of the nuclear transcription factor NF-E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), which activates the expression of phase Ⅱ detoxification enzymes and antioxidant enzymes through Keap1/Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway. The phase Ⅱ detoxification enzymes and antioxidant proteins play a slow, but long-lasting antioxidant and detoxification role in the body. So far, nine types of electrophiles have been identified in foods. They have similar structure. For their healthy property, it is believed that study of electrophiles in foods will be a new and hot research area of functional food.

Key words: electrophiles in foods, nutrigenetics, functional food, phaseⅡenzymes
