Application: | Zearalanone has been used: • as mycotoxin to study its effects on the histology of ovaries in pre-pubertal bitches • as a mycotoxin to investigate its influence on selected immunological, haematological and biochemical indexes in bitches • as a standard to develop calibration curves in order to study its effects on progesterone and 17β-estradiol concentrations in peripheral blood and body weights of pre-pubertal female Beagle dogs • as a standard to develop calibration curves to study its level of intoxication in women with neoplastic lesions in the reproductive tract |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Zearalanone is believed to cause vulvovaginitis and estrogenic responses in swine. |
General description: | Zearalanone (ZEA) or F-2 toxin, a nonsteroidal estrogenic mycotoxin is produced by various Fusarium species. Fusarium graminearum is considered as the primary producer of zearalanone. It is usually seen in moldy hay, high-moisture corn, corn infected before harvest etc. |
