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.
