Abstract
Renal fibrosis is a hallmark of chronic kidney disease, characterized by the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins. Sulforaphane, a potent antioxidant found in cruciferous vegetables, has shown promise in targeting renal fibrosis. By inhibiting fibrotic pathways, such as TGF-β signaling, and promoting antioxidant defenses, sulforaphane may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for mitigating kidney damage and slowing disease progression. Further research is needed to fully explore its therapeutic potential.
