Zearalenone (ZEN) and Its Metabolite Levels in Tissues of Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) from Southern Italy: A Pilot Study. [PDF]

Toxins (Basel), 2023
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin produced by the fungi of the Fusarium genera, and is a contaminant of cereals and plant products. ZEN and its metabolites are considered endocrine disruptors, and could have various toxic effects on animals and humans.

The Effect of Low Doses of Zearalenone (ZEN) on the Bone Marrow Microenvironment and Haematological Parameters of Blood Plasma in Pre-Pubertal Gilts. [PDF]

Toxins (Basel), 2022
The aim of this study was to determine whether low doses of zearalenone (ZEN) influence the carry-over of ZEN and its metabolites to the bone marrow microenvironment and, consequently, haematological parameters. Pre-pubertal gilts (with a body weight of up to 14.5 kg) were exposed to daily ZEN doses of 5 μg/kg BW (group ZEN5, n = 15), 10 μg/kg BW ...

Evaluation of Inner Exposure of Horses to Zearalenone (ZEN), Deoxynivalenol (DON) and Their Metabolites in Relation to Colic and Health-Related Clinical-Chemical Traits. [PDF]

Toxins (Basel), 2021
Mycotoxin contaminated feed has been associated with colic of horses caused by intestinal disorders. Whether such disease conditions alter the intestinal toxin metabolism and transfer across a compromised mucosal barrier is unknown. A screening approach was used to relate blood residue levels of DON, ZEN and their metabolites to the status of the ...

Vigor King mitigates spermatogenic disorders caused by environmental estrogen zearalenone exposure

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Zearalenone (ZEN) has been shown to cause reproductive damage by inducing oxidative stress. Astaxanthin and L-carnitine are widely used to alleviate oxidative stress and promote sperm maturation.

Overview of recent advances in zearalenone (ZEN) research. [PDF]

EXCLI J
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a Fusarium derived mycotoxin widely detected in cereals and cereal-based products and recognized for its pronounced estrogenic activity. Although the fundamental aspects of ZEN chemistry, metabolism, and toxicological effects have been well described, recent research has revealed a more complex picture of its biological ...

CLICK-FLISA Based on Metal-Organic Frameworks for Simultaneous Detection of Fumonisin B1 (FB1) and Zearalenone (ZEN) in Maize. [PDF]

Biosensors (Basel)
Mycotoxins are secondary products produced primarily by fungi and are pathogens of animals and cereals, not only affecting agriculture and the food industry but also causing great economic losses. The development of rapid and sensitive methods for the detection of mycotoxins in food is of great significance for livelihood issues. This study employed an

Transcriptomic responses of the zearalenone (ZEN)-detoxifying yeast Apiotrichum mycotoxinivorans to ZEN exposure

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a potent oestrogenic mycotoxin that is mainly produced by Fusarium species and is a serious environmental pollutant in animal feeds. Apiotrichum mycotoxinivorans has been widely used as a feed additive to detoxify ZEN. However, the effects of ZEN on A. mycotoxinivorans and its detoxification mechanisms remain unclear. In this study,

Effects of a Multicomponent Mycotoxin Detoxifying Agent on Health and Performance of Weaned Pigs Under Combined Dietary Exposure to Deoxynivalenol (DON) and Zearalenone (ZEN). [PDF]

Toxins (Basel)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of a multicomponent mycotoxin detoxifying agent (MMDA, MYCORAID, Patent Co, Mišićevo, Serbia) in weaned pigs receiving contaminated feed with deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN). In total, 168 pigs were equally allocated in four experimental groups from day 25 to day 66 of age.
