In vivo study | Zearalenone is frequently implicated in reproductive disorders of farm animals and occasionally in hyperoestrogenic syndromes in humans. There is evidence that ZEA and its metabolites possess oestrogenic activity in pigs, cattle and sheep. However, ZEA is of a relatively low acute toxicity after oral or interperitoneal administration in mice, rat and pig. |

Zearalenone | Zearalenone is a mycotoxin with estrogen toxicity produced by fungi such as Gibberella corn, Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium orchid. Zearalenone has strong heat resistance, and it is completely destroyed after lh treatment at lio ° c. Mainly pollute corn, wheat, rice, barley, millet and oats and other grains. Corn has the highest positive detection rate, and it can also pollute livestock and poultry products through words. The effect of zearalenone on animals is similar to estrogen, which can cause too much estrogen. Under the condition of acute poisoning, it will have a toxic effect on the nervous system, heart, kidney, liver and lung. The main mechanism is that it will cause the excitement of the nervous system, cause many bleeding points in the organs, and cause the animal to die suddenly. Pigs are the most sensitive animals to this toxin in all domestic animals, and females are more sensitive than males. Zearalenone intoxication causes slow weight gain in domestic animals, changes in organ weight, decreased fertility, and behavioral abnormalities. It is easy to cause female animals to be infertile, miscarried or weak, resulting in the feminization of male animals. Zearalenone containing 1 mg/kg ~ 5 mg/kg in the word material will affect animals. Zearalenone can also cause symptoms of central nervous system poisoning, such as nausea, chills, headaches, mental depression and ataxia. The limit of zearalenone in grain is 60 yg/kg for wheat and corn. |
biological activity | Zearalenone is a mycotoxin, mainly produced by Fusarium in food and feed. It has estrogen activity and low acute toxicity in pigs, cattle and sheep. It can cause precocious breast development or other estrogen effects in young sows. |
