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.

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.

After oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) administration of zearalenone (ZEN) to broiler chickens, laying hens, and turkey poults, the mycotoxin was rapidly absorbed (Tmax = 0.32-0.97 h) in all three species; however, the absolute oral bioavailability was low (F% =
