β-Zearalenol, a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin synthesized by Fusarium species, potentially influences transcription and affects gene expression on the translational level.
Beta-Zearalenol, a derivative of zearalenone (ZEA) capable of conjugating with glucuronic acid[2], is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp. It induces apoptosis and oxidative stress in mammalian reproductive cells[1].
