Zearalenol

	Zearalenol Zearalenol may refer to: * α-Zearalenol * β-Zearalenol See also * Zearalanol * Zearalenone * Zearalanone Zearalanone (ZAN) is a mycoestrogen that is a derivative of zearalenone (ZEN).

	α-Zearalenol α-Zearalenol is a nonsteroidal estrogen of the resorcylic acid lactone group related to mycoestrogens found in '' Fusarium spp''. It is the α-epimer of β-zearalenol. Along with β-zearalenol, it is a major metabolite of zearalenone formed mainly in the liver but also to a lesser extent in the intestines during first-pass metabolism The first pass effect (also known as first-pass metabolism or presystemic metabolism) is a phenomenon of drug metabolism at a specific location in the body which leads to a reduction in the concentration of the active drug before it reaches the .... A relatively low proportion of β-zearalenol is metabolized from zearalenone compared to α-zearalenol in humans. α-Zearalenol is about three to four times more potent as an estrogen relative to zearalenone.

	Zearalenone Zearalenone (ZEN), also known as RAL and F-2 mycotoxin, is a potent estrogenic metabolite produced by some ''Fusarium'' and '' Gibberella'' species. Specifically, the '' Gibberella zeae'', the fungal species where zearalenone was initially detected, in its asexual/ anamorph stage is known as ''Fusarium graminearum.'' Several ''Fusarium'' species produce toxic substances of considerable concern to livestock and poultry producers, namely deoxynivalenol, T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS) and zearalenone. Particularly, ZEN is produced by '' Fusarium graminearum'', '' Fusarium culmorum'', '' Fusarium cerealis'', '' Fusarium equiseti'', '' Fusarium verticillioides'', and '' Fusarium incarnatum''. Zearalenone is the primary toxin that binds to estrogen receptors, causing infertility, abortion or other breeding problems, especially in swine. Often, ZEN is detected together with deoxynivalenol in contaminated samples and its toxicity needs to be considered in combination ...
