Application: | α-Zearalenol has been used: • as an analytical standard in the quantification of mycotoxins from animal feed • to evaluate its oestrogenic activity on boar sperm motility , as an anti-oestrogen control in MCF7 cells • as a reference standard in a liquid chromatography-negative ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (LCAPCI/MS/MS) for bovine follicular fluids (FFs) quantification |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | α-Zearalenol (α-ZOL) is a catabolite of zearalenone, synthesized majorly in granulosa cells, intestine and liver in pigs. It has estrogenic functionality. α-ZOL inhibits sperm motility in horse possibly by eliciting genotoxic effect. α-ZOL displays higher affinity towards estrogenic receptors. |
Packaging: | 5, 10 mg in glass bottle |
