SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: End of 5 day treatment period

Population: Data not collected and will not be analyzed.

Products of lipid peroxidation will be determined by western blot analysis on nasal epithelial cells obtained by curettage after 5 days of study treatment (consuming broccoli sprouts)

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and end of 5 day treatment period

Population: Not enough blood could be obtained from one of the healthy volunteers. Therefore, glutathione from blood lymphocytes could not be evaluated from that healthy volunteer. With respect to this outcome measure, only results from 9 healthy volunteers are reported.

Change in lymphocyte glutathione measurements after 5 days of study treatment (consuming broccoli sprouts).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and end of 5 day treatment period

Change in gingival neutrophils measured after 5 days of study treatment (consuming broccoli sprouts). Patients will perform mouthwashes with normal saline. Neutrophil counts will be performed on fresh samples. Acridine orange will be added to the saline rinses and neutrophils will be counted under the microscope.
