QUICK LINKS
α-Zearalenol is a synthetic derivative of the macrolactone mycotoxin zearalenone (sc-204943) found in Fusarium roseum fungus. α-Zearalenol is estrogenically active and demonstrates induction of premature uterine growth, increase of nuclear estrogen receptor levels, and a five fold increase of ornithine decarboxylase level (ODC). The increase of ODC level was 20-fold more pronounced with α-zearalenol than zearalenone, and α-Zearalenol demonstrated three times more potent estrogenic activity than zearalenone. α-Zearalenol, a synthetic derivative of the macrolactone mycotoxin zearalenone, is a significant hepatic metabolite produced in response to the presence of zearalenone, a mycotoxin produced by fungi found in both food and animal feeds.
