Microbial Overgrowth Markers of yeast, mold, bacteria, Clostridium species, and their metabolic byproducts. Mitochondrial Health Intermediates of glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid metabolism involved in energy production Neurotransmitter Metabolites Dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine/ epinephrine pathway metabolites, providing insights into neurotransmitter imbalances. Methylation / Detoxification Metabolites reflecting methyl group cycling, glutathione status, and nutrients involved in both methylation and detoxification
For example, the GST enzymes, part of phase II detoxification, are upregulated by the Nrf2 pathway.[ref][ref] Direct antioxidant effects: In addition to activating endogenous antioxidants via the Nrf2 pathway, sulforaphane also has some direct antioxidant properties, as it can scavenge free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS)
