The negative symptoms and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia patients are still clinical problems to be solved. Schizophrenia patients are abnormal in oxidative stress, immune regulation, and anti-histone deacetylase (HDAC), while sulforaphane plays a role in anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and anti-HDAC. Therefore, the sulforaphane could improve the negative symptoms and cognitive deficits of schizophrenia.
